मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity

तेजसा वपुषा लक्ष्म्या भ्राजते रश्मिवानिव । वह वहाँ सुधारसका भोजन करता और सबके मनको हर लेनेवाला कान्तिमान्‌ रूप धारण करता है। वह अपने तेज, सुन्दर शरीर तथा अंगकान्तिसे सूर्यकी भाँति प्रकाशित होता है

tejasā vapuṣā lakṣmyā bhrājate raśmivān iva |

Bhishma berkata: “Dia bersinar dengan daya rohani, dengan rupa yang indah, dan dengan seri kemuliaan yang bertuah—bercahaya seperti matahari dengan sinarnya.” Di sana dia menikmati santapan amerta dan mengenakan wujud yang memikat hati semua. Dengan tejasnya, tubuhnya yang elok, dan cahaya pada anggota-anggota, dia memancar seperti matahari.

Educational Q&A

True excellence (tejas) joined with auspicious fortune (lakṣmī) and a noble bearing manifests as visible radiance; inner virtue and divine favor are portrayed as outward brilliance that naturally attracts and uplifts others.

Bhishma is describing a person of exceptional merit—depicting him as shining with power, beauty, and prosperity, comparable to the sun’s ray-filled brilliance—within his broader instruction on ideals of conduct and qualities worthy of honor.
