Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
बहूनूषीन् महातेजा: पाण्डवेयात्यवर्तत । भार्गवनन्दन जमदग्नि तेज और ओज (बल) दोनोंसे सम्पन्न थे। युधिष्ठिर! बड़े होनेपर महातेजस्वी जमदग्नि मुनि वेदाध्ययनद्वारा अन्य बहुत-से ऋषियोंसे आगे बढ़ गये ।। ४४ $ई || तं तु कृत्स्नो धरनुर्वेद: प्रत्यभाद् भरतर्षभ । चतुर्विधानि चास्त्राणि भास्करोपमवर्चसम्,भरतश्रेष्ठ! सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी जमदग्निकी बुद्धिमें सम्पूर्ण धनुर्वेद और चारों प्रकारके अस्त्र स्वतः स्फुरित हो गये

Akṛtavraṇa said: “O descendant of the Pāṇḍus, the great‑splendored Jamadagni, the son of Bhṛgu’s line, was endowed with both brilliance and vigor. O Yudhiṣṭhira, as he matured, he surpassed many sages through the disciplined study of the Vedas. And, O bull among the Bharatas, the entire science of archery shone forth within his understanding of its own accord; likewise the fourfold classes of weapons, radiant like the sun, became manifest to him.”
अकृतव्रण उवाच
Educational Q&A
The passage links true excellence to disciplined learning and inner purity: Jamadagni’s mastery arises from Vedic study and accumulated tejas/ojas, so knowledge (including martial science) is portrayed as something that naturally ‘shines forth’ in a well-trained, ethically grounded mind.
Akṛtavraṇa is describing Jamadagni’s growth and eminence: he surpasses other sages through Vedic study, and the complete dhanuḥveda along with the fourfold weapon-systems become manifest in his intellect, emphasizing his extraordinary competence and radiance.
