“In the meantime, O Rāma, Kaśyapa—radiant like fire—together with Aditi, shone as though blazing with his own splendor,” said Viśvāmitra in his narration.
"O Rama! in the mean time revered Kasyapa resplendent like the god of fire radiating lustre with Aditi who had completed a thousand divine years of austerities pleased (with her penance) the conferer of boons, Lord Madhusudana" (Visnu) (And she said to Visnu):
Dharma honors tapas (austerity) and inner radiance: spiritual discipline generates ‘ojas’—a power rooted in truth and restraint, not aggression.
Within Viśvāmitra’s explanatory story, he introduces Kaśyapa and Aditi in a luminous, austerity-linked setting.
Ascetic brilliance—steadfast practice that makes one ‘shine’ through ojas (spiritual vigor).
