毗湿摩说道：那位仙人一时欢喜，一时又羞惭。几位天女见到最上牟尼毗耶娑，便披上衣裳。就在那一刻，他得知其子已获解脱，心中深喜；然而反观自身的执著，又生出真切的惭愧。

Educational Q&A
Even a great person may experience mixed emotions: joy at a dharmic resolution (the son's release) and shame upon recognizing one's own lingering attachment. Ethical maturity includes honest self-reflection and the capacity to feel restraint (vrīḍā) when desire has overreached.
Apsarases, noticing Vyasa, quickly cover themselves by putting on their garments. Vyasa learns that his son has been freed and feels great happiness; simultaneously, he reflects on his own attachment and becomes embarrassed, indicating an inner moral reckoning.
