Shloka 22
ऋषयश्चापि त॑ सर्वे तुष्ठवुश्न दिवौकस: । त॑ दृष्टवा ज्वलमानश्रीर्भगवान् हव्यवाहन:
ṛṣayaścāpi taṁ sarve tuṣṭuvuś ca divaukasaḥ | taṁ dṛṣṭvā jvalamānaśrīr bhagavān havyavāhanaḥ ||
Maka semua resi, dan para dewa pun, memujinya dengan sukacita. Melihatnya bersinar dengan kemuliaan yang menyala-nyala, Bhagavān Havyavāhana (Agni), pembawa persembahan yajña, pun menyambutnya dengan hormat.

True spiritual excellence is recognized not merely by human opinion but by the assent of the wise (ṛṣis) and the divine order (devas). Radiance (tejas/śrī) here signals inner merit—often linked with tapas, purity, and fitness for sacred action—prompting reverence and divine response.
The sages and the gods collectively offer praise. Then Agni (Havyavāhana), seeing the person’s blazing splendor, takes notice—indicating a turning point where divine agency acknowledges and engages with the situation described in the surrounding verses.
