Mahāvasu’s Fall by Speech-Error and Release through Devotion (अज-विवादः वसोः शापः विमोचनं च)
बभौ तदा भावितात्मा विधूम इव पावक: । कुरुनन्दन! अपने पिताके समान ही परम उत्तम रूप और कान्ति धारण किये पवित्रात्मा शुकदेव धूमरहित अग्निके समान देदीप्यमान हो रहे थे
babhau tadā bhāvitātmā vidhūma iva pāvakaḥ | kurunandana! apne pitāke samāna hī param-uttama rūpa aur kānti dhāraṇ kiye pavitrātmā śukadeva dhūmarahita agni ke samāna dīdyamāna ho rahe the |
ビーシュマは語った。「そのとき、自らを鍛えた聖者は、煙なき火のように輝いた。クル族の喜びよ。清らかな魂をもつシュカデーヴァは、父に等しい最上の姿と光彩を帯び、煙なき炎のごとく燦然と燃え立っていた。」

Inner cultivation and purity make a person’s presence luminous: like fire without smoke, a disciplined and purified self shines without the obscurations of passion, ego, or impurity.
Bhīṣma describes Śukadeva’s appearance: he is portrayed as exceptionally radiant and pure, resembling a smokeless flame, and possessing splendor comparable to that of his father (implicitly Vyāsa).
