अपूर्वरूपसंस्थानान्दृष्ट्वा देवानुवाच ह । तेजसो भवतां देवाः करिष्याम्युपबृंहणम्
apūrvarūpasaṃsthānāndṛṣṭvā devānuvāca ha | tejaso bhavatāṃ devāḥ kariṣyāmyupabṛṃhaṇam
ครั้นทอดพระเนตรเหล่าเทพผู้มีรูปและลักษณะอันไม่เคยปรากฏมาก่อน พระองค์ตรัสว่า “โอ้เหล่าเทพ เราจักเพิ่มพูนรัศมีและเดชของท่านทั้งหลาย”
Unspecified (narrative voice reports that 'he' spoke to the devas)
Concept: Bhagavat-kṛpā increases tejas: the Lord can ‘augment’ inner radiance and capacity when approached in humility.
Application: Seek strength through sāttvika disciplines—japa, worship, restraint—trusting that steadiness and clarity (tejas) can be cultivated and received.

FAQs
The verse reports that an unnamed male figure (“he”) addressed the devas; the specific identity is not stated in the provided line alone and requires surrounding verses for certainty.
It implies an act of strengthening or increasing—here, specifically the increase of the devas’ tejas (radiance, power, spiritual brilliance).
The line frames divine support as the enhancement of inner and outer “splendor” (tejas), suggesting that rightful empowerment is portrayed as a purposeful, guided augmentation rather than mere domination.
