Sāṃkhya–Yoga Distinction and Instruction on Yogic Strength
महादेवजीके पेटमें घुसकर प्रभावशाली महामना भृगुनन्दन उशना उसके भीतर सब ओर विचरने लगे ।।
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | kimarthaṃ vyacarad rājann uśanā tasya dhīmataḥ | jaṭhare devadevasya kiṃ cākārṣīn mahādyutiḥ ||
玉提湿陀罗说道：“大王啊，光辉灿然的乌舍那（即舒克罗）为何要在那位睿智的万神之主——摩诃提婆——的腹中往来游行？那位大光明者在那里究竟做了什么？”

Educational Q&A
The verse models dhārmic inquiry: even revered figures and wondrous events should be approached through respectful questioning to understand purpose (artha) and action (karma), especially when divine power and sage-like brilliance intersect.
Yudhiṣṭhira asks the kingly narrator (commonly Bhīṣma in Śānti Parva) why the radiant sage Uśanā/Śukra entered and wandered within Mahādeva’s belly and what he accomplished there, setting up an explanation of a miraculous episode involving Śiva and the sage.
