Pulastya’s Instruction
ततस्तस्मिन् प्रनृत्ते तु स्थावरं जंगमं च यत् | प्रनृत्तमुभयं वीर तेजसा तस्य मोहितम्,वीर! उनके नृत्य करते समय उनके तेजसे मोहित हो सारा चराचर जगत् नृत्य करने लगा
tatastasmīn pranṛtte tu sthāvaraṁ jaṅgamaṁ ca yat | pranṛttam ubhayaṁ vīra tejasā tasya mohitam ||
Entonces, cuando él comenzó a danzar, todo cuanto hay en el mundo—lo inmóvil y lo móvil—fue puesto en movimiento. Oh héroe, confundida por el fulgor de su poder, la creación entera pareció unirse a aquella danza, como compelida por la fuerza de su presencia.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how overwhelming spiritual power (tejas) can move and transform the entire field of experience—suggesting that true potency is not merely physical force but a radiance that compels alignment, even in nature itself.
A figure begins to dance, and the narration describes a wondrous effect: both the immovable and movable parts of creation appear to dance as well, as if enchanted or overpowered by the dancer’s tejas.
