त्या एकाग्र मनोवृत्तीने हरि निश्चयच प्रसन्न होतात. हे मुनिशार्दूल! तेव्हा युगांती सूर्याच्या तेजासारखी प्रभा प्रकट झाली—एकाग्र भक्तीतून उत्पन्न झालेल्या अपार शक्तीचे चिन्ह.

Educational Q&A
Single-pointed concentration of mind (ekāgratā) in devotion leads to the Lord’s pleasure and grace; inner focus is presented as a direct ethical-spiritual discipline that yields transformative power.
Bhīṣma continues instructing a sage-like listener, explaining that concentrated devotion pleases Hari, and he illustrates the resulting spiritual manifestation by comparing its splendour to the sun’s overwhelming radiance at the end of a yuga.
