Akṛtavraṇa’s Account Begins: Gādhi–Satyavatī–Ṛcīka and the Bhārgava Lineage Prelude
तेजसा वर्चसा चैव युक्त भार्गवनन्दनम् | स वर्धमानस्तेजस्वी वेदस्याध्ययनेन च
tejasā varcasā caiva yuktaṃ bhārgavanandanam | sa vardhamānas tejasvī vedasyādhyayanena ca
Dijo Akṛtavraṇa: «Dotado de poder ascético y de esplendor radiante, el amado hijo del linaje de Bhṛgu crecía cada vez más resplandeciente; y, mediante el estudio disciplinado del Veda, su brillo interior no dejaba de acrecentarse».

True brilliance is not merely physical or social prestige; it is cultivated through disciplined learning—especially Vedic study—together with purity and inner power (tejas and varcas).
The speaker describes how the Bhārgava hero, already endowed with radiance and power, becomes increasingly resplendent as he continues his Vedic studies, highlighting growth through sustained discipline.
