ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ແລ້ວທ່ານໄດ້ຮ່ວມສະຫມັກກັບນາງ; ໃນເວລານັ້ນນາງໄດ້ຮັບຖືພາເປັນຕົ້ນອ່ອນຂອງທ່ານ. ຕົ້ນອ່ອນນັ້ນຈຶ່ງເຕີບໃຫຍ່ຢູ່ໃນນາງ, ເຫມືອນໄຟ—ແມ່ນວ່າທາງໄປຂອງມັນຈະມືດ—ແຕ່ເມື່ອຖືກວາງໄວ້ໃນຮູ ຫຼືກອງເຊື້ອໄຟ ກໍລຸກໂຊນຂຶ້ນ».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Once potent energy—especially divinely sourced tejas—has been received and rightly contained, it naturally matures in due course; the simile of hidden fire suggests that power may be unseen at first yet inevitably manifests when conditions support it.
Bhishma describes a union leading to conception; the embryo is ‘deposited’ and then grows within the bearer, compared to fire that, though moving darkly/hidden, blazes up when lodged in a hollow or heap of fuel.
