An Awakening Description within the Allegory of the Wheel of Saṃsāra
तेजसा द्योतयन्सर्वं गगनं भास्करो यथा ॥ विचचार दिवं रम्यां कामचारो महामुनिः ॥
tejasā dyotayan sarvaṃ gaganaṃ bhāskaro yathā || vicacāra divaṃ ramyāṃ kāmacāro mahāmuniḥ ||
ఆ మహాముని సూర్యునివలె తన తేజస్సుతో సమస్త ఆకాశాన్ని ప్రకాశింపజేస్తూ, ఇష్టానుసారంగా సంచరించగలవాడై రమ్యమైన స్వర్గలోకంలో విహరించాడు.

FAQs
It reflects a widespread Purāṇic and epic trope: exceptional sages possess luminous presence and unrestricted mobility across cosmic regions.
The verse refers to divam (“heaven”) as a cosmological realm, not a specific earthly site.
Indirectly, it elevates ascetic attainment and disciplined life as sources of inner “radiance” and freedom of movement (kāmacāra).
