Educational Q&A
Power (tejas) must be borne according to capacity; even sacred or divinely granted energy can cause harm if received or applied without fitness and moderation. Dharma includes knowing limits and ensuring that potency is transmitted and sustained responsibly.
Bhīṣma narrates that Gaṅgā, affected by the intense tejas associated with a god (contextually Agni), becomes mentally overwhelmed and suffers severe burning distress, finding herself unable to endure that force.
