tato vidadahumāno ’haṁ praviṣṭo ’mbhas tadānagha | avijñānād amarṣāc ca bhāskarasya mahātmanaḥ ||

Dann, o Schuldloser, trat ich—von innerer Glut verzehrt—in das Wasser. In jener Stunde litt ich heftig, weil ich die Größe des edlen Bhāskara nicht erkannte und weil es mir an Duldsamkeit und Selbstbeherrschung mangelte.

Educational Q&A

Ignorance of another’s true greatness and the absence of forbearance lead to needless suffering; ethical maturity requires understanding (jñāna) and patience (kṣamā/amarṣa-tyāga).

Yājñavalkya describes a moment of intense distress—feeling as if burning—after which he enters water; he attributes his suffering to not recognizing Bhāskara’s greatness and to his own intolerance.
