तेजस्विन: सोमसुतो विशोका विगतज्वरा: । वे देवर्षिगण तेजस्वी, सोमयाग करनेवाले तथा शोक और चिन्तासे शून्य हैं
tejasvinaḥ somasutā viśokā vigatajvarāḥ | te devarṣigaṇā tejasvinaḥ somayāga-karaṇe-vālāḥ tathā śoka-cintā-se śūnyāḥ |
Nārada berkata: “Para resi ilahi yang bercahaya itu, yang lahir daripada Soma, bebas daripada dukacita dan tidak tersentuh oleh kepedihan yang membakar. Mereka bersinar dengan cahaya mereka sendiri—para pelaksana korban Soma—dan tetap tidak dibebani oleh kesedihan serta kegelisahan.”

Educational Q&A
True spiritual radiance is linked with inner freedom from grief and anxious agitation; the ideal sage is portrayed as both ritually grounded (Soma-sacrifice) and mentally untroubled (viśoka, vigatajvara).
Narada is describing a class of divine sages associated with Soma, emphasizing their luminous nature and their freedom from sorrow and distress, while noting their engagement in Soma-sacrificial rites.
