जनानां तु स तेजांसि सर्वाण्येवाक्षिपद्बली । ब्रह्माद्यास्तत्र चाजग्मुर्देवा देवर्षिभिः सह
janānāṃ tu sa tejāṃsi sarvāṇyevākṣipadbalī | brahmādyāstatra cājagmurdevā devarṣibhiḥ saha
Namun yang perkasa itu menarik lenyap segala sinar kemuliaan manusia. Lalu Brahmā dan para dewa yang lain pun datang ke sana bersama para devarṣi (resi ilahi).

FAQs
The verse refers to a powerful figure in the surrounding narrative context; the identity is not stated in this single śloka, but it signals an extraordinary being whose action prompts divine intervention.
Their arrival indicates a cosmic disturbance: the removal of beings’ “tejas” (splendor/vital radiance) is treated as a serious imbalance requiring the gods and divine seers to respond.
In Purāṇic idiom, tejas represents vitality, dignity, and spiritual potency; its loss suggests decline or oppression, implying that misuse of power disrupts order and calls for restoration of dharma.
