Thus, while the couple looked on, the three deities Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara disappeared from that place after bestowing upon Atri Muni the benediction.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
While Atri and his wife were watching, the lords of the devatās, after being worshipped and giving benedictions, departed. Sabhājitāḥ means worshiped. Miṣaotoḥ means watching.
After granting benediction, the deities disappeared — grace gives and then withdraws to let you live what was given. Don't cling to the moment of revelation; act on it.
Reflection Questions
  • What past grace am I still clinging to instead of acting on?
  • Am I more attached to spiritual experiences or to the life they call me to?
