Shloka 15
और्वकृत-क्रोधाग्नि-निग्रहः
Aurva’s Containment of the Wrath-Fire
ततः कृतज्ञं धर्मज्ञं रूपेणासदृशं भुवि | तपत्या: सदृशं मेने सूर्य: संवरणं पतिम्,रूपमें इस पृथ्वीपर उनके समान दूसरा कोई पुरुष नहीं था। वे कृतज्ञ और धर्मज्ञ थे। अतः सूर्यदेवने राजा संवरणको ही तपतीके योग्य पति माना
tataḥ kṛtajñaṃ dharmajñaṃ rūpeṇāsadṛśaṃ bhuvi | tapatyāḥ sadṛśaṃ mene sūryaḥ saṃvaraṇaṃ patim ||
عندئذٍ رأى سُوريا (إله الشمس) في سَمْوَرَنَة زوجًا لائقًا لتَپَتِي: رجلًا لا نظير له على الأرض في الحُسن، متميّزًا بمعرفة الجميل وبالعلم بالدَّرما. ولمّا أبصر هذه الخصال، حكم سُوريا أنّه جديرٌ بابنته.

Educational Q&A
Worthiness for major life duties (like marriage and kingship) is grounded not only in outward excellence (beauty) but in inner virtues—gratitude (kṛtajñatā) and discernment of dharma (dharmajñatā).
A Gandharva recounts that Sūrya evaluates King Saṃvaraṇa and, finding him incomparable in beauty and strong in moral qualities, deems him the proper husband for his daughter Tapatī.
