अध्याय ३३७ — ज्ञानमार्ग-वैविध्यप्रश्नः तथा व्यासस्य नारायणोद्भवकथा
Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
यस्य प्रसाद कुरुते स वै त॑ द्रष्टमर्हति । “बृहस्पते! जिनको यह भाग समर्पित किया गया है वे भगवान् कभी क्रोध नहीं करते। हम और आप उन्हें स्वेच्छासे नहीं देख सकते हैं। जिसपर वे कृपा करते हैं वही उनका दर्शन कर पाता है”
yasya prasādaṁ kurute sa vai taṁ draṣṭum arhati |
毗湿摩说道：“唯有蒙主垂恩之人，才真正堪当得见祂。对受此神圣份额供奉者，主并不动怒。我与你都不能随心所欲地见到祂；唯有祂施以慈恩者，方能得其显现。”

Educational Q&A
Darśana (true vision of the Divine) is not gained by personal insistence or mere effort; it is granted through prasāda (grace). The ethical implication is humility and disciplined devotion—one becomes fit, and the Lord’s favor completes the attainment.
Bhishma addresses Brihaspati and emphasizes that the Lord, to whom offerings or a sacred portion are dedicated, is not accessible at will. Only the one who receives divine favor is able to behold Him, underscoring the supremacy of grace over self-directed seeking.
