अपश्यमानस्तद् द्वारं सर्वतः पिहितो मुनि: । पर्यक्रामद् दह्मुमान इतश्रैतश्न॒ तेजसा
apaśyamānas tad dvāraṁ sarvataḥ pihito muniḥ | paryakrāmad dahmumān itaś caitaś ca tejasā ||
ಆ ದ್ವಾರವನ್ನು ಕಾಣದೆ, ಎಲ್ಲ ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ಮುಚ್ಚಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದ ಆ ಮುನಿವರನು ಅಂತರಶಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಯುಕ್ತನಾಗಿ, ತನ್ನ ತಪೋತೇಜದ ಬಲದಿಂದ ದಾರಿ ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತ ಇತ್ತಿಚ್ಚೆ ಅಲೆದಾಡಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದನು।

When ordinary means fail and one feels hemmed in, the verse highlights steadfast effort guided by inner discipline: the sage does not collapse into despair but continues searching, relying on tejas—earned spiritual strength—rather than agitation or wrongdoing.
A sage finds himself blocked on all sides and cannot locate the exit. He moves about in different directions, attempting to discover a way out, empowered by his ascetic energy (tejas).
