Vaiśaṃpāyana said: The sky, adorned with constellations and stars, became his head; and his long hair shone with a brilliance equal to the rays of the sun.

Educational Q&A
By portraying the sky as the head and sunlike radiance as the hair, the verse teaches a contemplative ethic: see the self and the world as integrated within a larger cosmic order, which supports humility, restraint, and dharmic orientation rather than ego-centered action.
Vaiśaṃpāyana continues a description of a vast, cosmic being/form, mapping elements of the universe onto bodily features—here, the heavens become the head and the hair gleams like the sun’s rays.
