Shloka 10
Nāmānirukta of Nārāyaṇa (Keśava–Viṣṇu–Vāsudeva) and the Rudra–Nārāyaṇa Unity Theme
अवतीर्णिेषु शिष्येषु व्यास: पुत्रसहायवान् । तृष्णीं ध्यानपरो धीमानेकान्ते समुपाविशत्
avatīrṇeṣu śiṣyeṣu vyāsaḥ putrasahāyavān | tṛṣṇīṃ dhyānaparo dhīmān ekānte samupāviśat ||
当弟子们都从山上退下之后，毗耶娑身边只剩下他的儿子——舒迦。智者毗耶娑沉入禅定，独坐幽寂，默然无言——这仿佛昭示他有意从外在的教诲中退隐，转入内在的观照；在那里，证悟在言语之外渐趋圆熟。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical-spiritual value of disciplined withdrawal: after instruction and activity, the sage turns to solitary meditation and silence, implying that the deepest dharma is assimilated inwardly and that some truths mature beyond speech.
After the disciples come down from the mountain, only Vyāsa and his son Śuka remain. Vyāsa then sits alone in seclusion, silent and absorbed in meditation, setting the stage for a more intimate, contemplative phase of the episode.
