नक्षत्रेषु श्राद्धफलविधानम् (Śrāddha Outcomes According to Nakṣatras)
ततस्ता वर्धमानस्य कुमारस्य महात्मन: । तेजसाभिपरीताड्ग्यो न क्वचिच्छर्म लेभिरे,गर्भमें जब वह महामना कुमार बढ़ने लगा, तब उसके तेजसे उनका सारा अंग व्याप्त होनेके कारण वे कृत्तिकाएँ कहीं चैन नहीं पाती थीं
tatas tā vardhamānasya kumārasya mahātmanaḥ | tejasābhiparītāṅgyo na kvacic charma lebhire ||
ನಂತರ ಆ ಮಹಾತ್ಮ ಕುಮಾರನು ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಿರಲು, ಅವನ ತೇಜಸ್ಸು ಕೃತ್ತಿಕೆಗಳ ದೇಹವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಆವರಿಸಿ ಮರುಗಿಸಿದ ಕಾರಣ ಅವರು ಎಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ ಪಡೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ.

Extraordinary tejas (spiritual/divine radiance) is not merely attractive; it can be overpowering. The verse highlights how immense inner power affects others, implying the ethical need for containment, right context, and reverent distance when encountering such force.
As the divine child Kumāra grows, his radiance intensifies. The Kṛttikā women, associated with his nurturing in the Skanda tradition, feel their bodies pervaded by that blazing energy and therefore cannot find rest or comfort anywhere.
