Shloka 7
सम्पूर्णकोशा: किल मे मातर: पितरस्तथा । भयात् सर्वेषु लोकेषु नाधिजग्मु: परायणम्
Ūrva uvāca | sampūrṇakośāḥ kila me mātaraḥ pitaras tathā | bhayāt sarveṣu lokeṣu nādhijagmuḥ parāyaṇam | tataḥ vasiṣṭhādayaḥ sarve munayas tatra menire | tejasā dīpyamānaṃ vai dvitīyam iva bhāskaram |
Aurva berkata: “Bahkan ibu-ibuku—yang kandungannya sedang penuh—dan para bapaku juga, didorong oleh ketakutan, mengembara ke seluruh alam, namun tidak menemukan perlindungan di mana-mana. Lalu semua resi di sana, bermula dengan Vasiṣṭha, menyaksikan pertapa yang bersinar itu, menyala dengan daya rohani, bagaikan matahari kedua.”

Educational Q&A
Fear can drive even the most protected or privileged into restless flight, yet true refuge is not found by mere movement across realms; it is associated with dharmic protection and the stabilizing presence of realized sages whose tejas inspires confidence and order.
Aurva describes a crisis in which his kin—mothers and fathers—flee in fear through various worlds without finding shelter. In that setting, the assembled sages led by Vasiṣṭha perceive a great seer blazing with spiritual radiance, compared to a second sun.
