Shloka 30
Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
ततो भगवतस्तेजो ज्वरो भूत्वा जगत्पते:
tato bhagavatas tejo jvaro bhūtvā jagatpateḥ
そのとき、主の赫々たる光輝の力より、灼熱の熱病が形を得て現れた――宇宙の主より発したそれは、神威が刺激され、あるいは導かれるとき、いかなる世俗の力も抑え得ぬ圧倒的な勢いとして顕現しうることを示していた。

Educational Q&A
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.
