उदयेन सहस्रांशोर्हिमं यद्वद्विलीयते । तद्वन्मे दुःखसंप्राप्तिः सर्वथा नाशमेष्यति
udayena sahasrāṃśorhimaṃ yadvadvilīyate | tadvanme duḥkhasaṃprāptiḥ sarvathā nāśameṣyati
Sebagaimana embun beku mencair saat Suria yang bersinar seribu sinar terbit, demikianlah pengalaman dukaku akan lenyap sama sekali dalam segala hal.

Concept: Sorrow dissolves naturally when true light (knowledge, grace, or saintly presence) rises—like frost before the sun.

FAQs
It compares sorrow to frost and spiritual/fortunate turning points to the sunrise—when the Sun rises, frost naturally dissolves; likewise, the speaker’s sorrow is expected to vanish completely.
Not explicitly in this standalone line; it uses a general Purāṇic poetic simile about the cessation of suffering. The surrounding chapter context would determine whether the ‘sunrise’ implies divine grace, knowledge, or auspicious events.
It encourages perseverance and confidence that distress is impermanent—when the right conditions arise (clarity, guidance, grace, or right action), suffering can end fully, just as frost disappears with sunlight.
