Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
ततो भगवतस्तेजो ज्वरो भूत्वा जगत्पते:
tato bhagavatas tejo jvaro bhūtvā jagatpateḥ
Kemudian, dari sinar daya Tuhan, terwujudlah demam yang membakar—lahir dari Sang Penguasa semesta; pertanda bahwa tenaga ilahi, bila digugah atau diarahkan, dapat menjelma menjadi daya dahsyat yang tak mampu dibendung oleh kekuatan duniawi mana pun.

Divine tejas is not merely abstract brilliance; it can become an active, corrective force. The verse underscores moral causality: when cosmic order is challenged, the Lord’s power may manifest in a form (here, jvara) that enforces restraint and restores balance.
Bhīṣma describes a moment when the Lord’s radiance concretizes into a being/force called Jvara—an intense, burning affliction—emerging from the Jagatpati. It marks a dramatic escalation where divine energy intervenes tangibly in events.
