Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
श्रीभगवानुवाच एवं लक्षणमुत्पाद्य परस्परकृतं तदा । सख्यं चैवातुलं कृत्वा रुद्रेण सहितावृषी
śrībhagavān uvāca— evaṃ lakṣaṇam utpādya paraspara-kṛtaṃ tadā | sakhyaṃ caivātulaṃ kṛtvā rudreṇa sahitāv ṛṣī ||
世尊曰：“如是，当时他们在彼此身上显现出相互所作的印记，作为识别与盟誓之证；两位仙圣与鲁陀罗一道，结成无与伦比的友谊。遣散诸天之后，他们心神澄寂，复如往昔修持苦行。由此，我已向你叙述那罗延那在战阵中的胜利之事。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights reconciliation and enduring alliance grounded in shared signs and mutual recognition, culminating in inner calm and a return to tapas. Ethically, it presents harmony among divine powers (Rudra and Nārāyaṇa’s sphere) and the ideal of restoring peace after conflict.
Kṛṣṇa explains to Arjuna that two sages, after creating mutual identifying marks, formed an incomparable friendship with Rudra. They then dismissed the assembled gods, became serene, and resumed their former austerities—framing this as part of the broader account of Nārāyaṇa’s victory in battle.
