Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
मार्कण्डेय उवाच एवṃ संस्तूयमानस्तु देवैर्देवर्षिभिस्तथा ।
मुमोच स्वं तदा तेजस्तेजसां राशिरव्ययः ॥
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca evaṃ saṃstūyamānas tu devair devarṣibhis tathā | mumoca svaṃ tadā tejas tejasāṃ rāśir avyayaḥ ||
Mārkaṇḍeya sprach: So gepriesen von den Göttern und den göttlichen Sehern, ließ jene unvergängliche Masse von Glanz daraufhin ihr eigenes Strahlen hervortreten.

Praise (stuti) is not flattery but alignment with truth; when cosmic order is restored through recognition of the supreme power, that power can manifest or withdraw appropriately.
Carita: a narrative description of the deity’s action in response to the gods’ hymn.
‘Tejasāṃ rāśi’ depicts the Goddess as the unified reservoir of all divine potencies—suggesting that differentiated powers are condensations of one śakti.
