ସେ ଦୋଷରୂପ ଘନ ଅନ୍ଧକାରକୁ ନାଶ କରୁଥିବା ପ୍ରଚଣ୍ଡ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପରି ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଦୀପ୍ତିମାନ ଥିଲେ; ଏବଂ ନିର୍ଭୟ, ଶାନ୍ତ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ପରି ନିର୍ମଳ ଗୁଣମାନଙ୍କ ଉଦୟକୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଥିଲେ।
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator, contextually Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa)
Scene: A luminous sage whose aura suggests both sunlike brilliance and moonlike calm; the surrounding space seems cleared of shadow, symbolizing the removal of moral darkness.
True holiness illuminates: it removes inner darkness (doṣa-tamas) and inspires fearless clarity through pure virtues.
None; the verse glorifies the spiritual radiance of the sage rather than a geographical tīrtha.
None; it is devotional praise through imagery (sun and moon) to establish the sage’s authority.
