जज्वलुः सर्वभूतानि तेजसा तस्य सर्वतः । उद्विग्नाश्च सुराः सर्वे तपसा तस्य भीषिताः
jajvaluḥ sarvabhūtāni tejasā tasya sarvataḥ | udvignāśca surāḥ sarve tapasā tasya bhīṣitāḥ
بِتَجَلِّي طاقته المتَّقِدة بدا أنَّ جميع الكائنات تحترق من كلِّ جانب. واضطربت الآلهة كلُّها، مذعورةً من شدّة تَقَشُّفِه وقوّة تَبَتُّلِه.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Radiant heat waves emanate from a cave in a forested mountain; animals and beings recoil; in the sky, devas appear unsettled, shielding their faces from the glare, gathering in anxious council.
Tapas is a cosmic force; when pursued for domination, it alarms even the devas and necessitates divine regulation.
The verse is more cosmic than geographic, but it continues the power-atmosphere of the Pāriyātra tapas-sthāna.
None; it describes the effects (tejas) produced by austerity.
