Shloka 19
दीप्यमानं श्रिया राज॑स्तेजसा वपुषा तथा । हलक 2 श्शनम्,राजन! वे अपनी कान्ति और तेजसे उद्दीप्त हो रहे थे। शरीरसे वे सहस्रों सूर्योके समान प्रकाशित होते थे। उनकी झाँकी अद्भुत और अनुपम थी
dīpyamānaṃ śriyā rājas tejasā vapuṣā tathā | sahasra-sūrya-samaprakhyaṃ śarīreṇa babhau saḥ | tasya darśanam adbhutam anupamaṃ ca rājan ||
Mārkaṇḍeya berkata: “Wahai Raja, ia menyala oleh kemuliaan yang membawa berkah—bercahaya dalam wibawa, dalam tenaga, dan dalam sinar tubuhnya. Wujudnya berkilau laksana seribu matahari. Pemandangan itu menakjubkan, tiada banding, dan tak tertandingi.”

Mārkaṇḍeya describes to the king a majestic figure whose splendor and energy are so intense that his body appears to shine like a thousand suns; the emphasis is on the extraordinary, incomparable vision (darśana).
