sa tenāḍhyo mahāyogī tapasā ca dhanena ca | vyarājata mahārāja triṣu lokeṣu vīryavān ||
Bhishma said: Endowed with that attainment, the great yogin—rich in the wealth of tapas and in worldly means as well—shone forth, O king. Possessed of spiritual power, he became renowned across the three worlds.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined austerity (tapas) is a form of true wealth that generates inner power (vīrya) and genuine radiance; when joined with rightful resources, it makes one’s excellence naturally manifest and widely recognized.
Bhishma, instructing the king, describes a great yogin who—having gained a certain attainment—became prosperous through both tapas and wealth, and consequently shone with fame and potency throughout the three worlds.
