प्रादुर्बभूव सुमहानग्नि: कालानलोपम: । तत्पश्चात् अमिततेजस्वी देवेश्वर महादेवजीके क्रोधके कारण उनके ललाटसे भयंकर पसीनेकी बूँद प्रकट हुई। उस पसीनेके बिन्दुके पृथ्वीपर पड़ते ही कालाग्निके समान विशाल अग्निपुंजका प्रादुर्भाव हुआ ।। तत्र चाजायत तदा पुरुष: पुरुषर्षभ

ภีษมะกล่าวว่า “บัดนั้นเพลิงมหึมาดุจไฟกัลป์อวสานก็อุบัติขึ้นฉับพลัน และ ณ ที่นั้นเอง ในกาลนั้น บุรุษผู้ประเสริฐท่ามกลางมนุษย์ได้ถือกำเนิด”

The passage underscores the immense, world-shaping potency of divine (and by extension, disciplined) energy: even a minute emanation from a great being—here, a single drop from Mahadeva—can generate overwhelming consequences. Ethically, it points to the need for restraint over anger, since wrath can externalize into destructive forces that affect the world.
Bhishma describes a miraculous event: a colossal, end-of-time-like fire appears. It is linked to Mahadeva’s anger, from whose forehead a fearsome drop of sweat emerges; when it falls to the earth, it becomes a huge fire-mass. From that fiery locus, a remarkable man (puruṣarṣabha) is then born.
