Dengan ketunggalan batin itu, Hari sungguh berkenan. Wahai harimau di antara para resi, demikianlah cahaya yang bangkit—laksana gemilang matahari pada akhir suatu yuga—menandai kedahsyatan daya rohani yang lahir dari bhakti yang terpusat.

Educational Q&A
Single-pointed concentration of mind (ekāgratā) in devotion leads to the Lord’s pleasure and grace; inner focus is presented as a direct ethical-spiritual discipline that yields transformative power.
Bhīṣma continues instructing a sage-like listener, explaining that concentrated devotion pleases Hari, and he illustrates the resulting spiritual manifestation by comparing its splendour to the sun’s overwhelming radiance at the end of a yuga.
