याति संहर्षयन्‌ सर्वास्तेजसा त्रिदिवौकस: । इन सबके पीछे उज्ज्वल रथपर आरुढ़ हो रुद्रदेव यात्रा करते थे, जो अपने तेजसे सम्पूर्ण देवताओंका हर्ष बढ़ा रहे थे

Transliteration

yāti saṁharṣayan sarvās tejasā tridivaukasaḥ |

Translation

Mārkaṇḍeya sprach: „Er zieht weiter und erfreut durch seinen Glanz alle Bewohner der drei Himmel.“ Im Sinn der Erzählung wird Rudras Weiterreise — auf einem strahlenden Wagen, dem Zug folgend — zum sittlichen Sinnbild göttlicher Gegenwart: Sein bloßer Glanz erhebt die Götter, gibt Mut zurück und erneuert das verheißungsvolle Vertrauen in die Ordnung des Kosmos.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Divine tejas (radiant power) is portrayed as intrinsically uplifting: the presence of a righteous, powerful protector (Rudra) strengthens the devas’ morale and reaffirms confidence in dharma and cosmic stability.

What is happening in the narrative?

Mārkaṇḍeya describes Rudra moving along—depicted (in the accompanying Hindi gloss) as riding a brilliant chariot behind the others—while his radiance increases the joy and exhilaration of the heavenly beings.
