Shloka 35
यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
ज्वलन्ती भासमाना च तेजसा स्वेन भारत । तामुग्रतपसो यान्ति सुव्रता: सत्यवादिन:
jvalantī bhāsamānā ca tejasā svena bhārata | tām ugratapaso yānti suvratāḥ satyavādinaḥ ||
おおバーラタよ、その सभा（集会殿）は自らの光明によって燃え立つように輝く。そこへ赴くのは、峻烈なる苦行を修め、すぐれた誓戒を守り、真実を語る者たちである。彼らの臨在は内なる清浄と規律を帯び、まるで功徳の力がその身を照らしているかのようである。

Educational Q&A
The verse links access to an exalted, radiant space with ethical and ascetic qualifications: truthfulness (satya), disciplined vows (vrata), and austerity (tapas). Inner moral purity is portrayed as a real power (tejas) that both illuminates the person and makes them fit to enter such a sanctified assembly.
Nārada is describing a wondrous sabhā (assembly hall) that shines by its own radiance. He states that it is approached/attained by highly disciplined, truth-speaking ascetics—implying that the hall is not merely architectural splendor but a morally charged space associated with spiritual merit.
