Mahāvasu’s Fall by Speech-Error and Release through Devotion (अज-विवादः वसोः शापः विमोचनं च)
बभौ तदा भावितात्मा विधूम इव पावक: । कुरुनन्दन! अपने पिताके समान ही परम उत्तम रूप और कान्ति धारण किये पवित्रात्मा शुकदेव धूमरहित अग्निके समान देदीप्यमान हो रहे थे
babhau tadā bhāvitātmā vidhūma iva pāvakaḥ | kurunandana! apne pitāke samāna hī param-uttama rūpa aur kānti dhāraṇ kiye pavitrātmā śukadeva dhūmarahita agni ke samāna dīdyamāna ho rahe the |
Bhishma dit : «Alors le sage, maître de lui-même, resplendit tel un feu sans fumée. Ô joie des Kuru ! Śukadeva, à l’âme pure, portant une forme et une splendeur souverainement excellentes, semblables à celles de son père, flamboyait—comme une flamme sans fumée.»

Educational Q&A
Inner cultivation and purity make a person’s presence luminous: like fire without smoke, a disciplined and purified self shines without the obscurations of passion, ego, or impurity.
Bhīṣma describes Śukadeva’s appearance: he is portrayed as exceptionally radiant and pure, resembling a smokeless flame, and possessing splendor comparable to that of his father (implicitly Vyāsa).
