輝ける幼子を見て—性は甘美で姿は麗しく、目にかけがえなく、言葉は柔らかくも深い—賢仙たちは感嘆に打たれた。

Tirtha: Kāśī (Vārāṇasī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sages behold Dhruva’s radiant presence—sweet-faced, priceless to see—speaking softly yet profoundly; their faces show wonder.
Spiritual maturity is recognized by inner radiance (tejas), sweetness of character, and speech that is both gentle and deep.
