नारायणीयमाख्यानम् (Nārāyaṇīyam Ākhyānam) — Nārada’s Return and Hymnic Consolidation
महिमान तु त॑ दृष्टवा पुत्रस्यामिततेजस:
mahimānaṁ tu taṁ dṛṣṭvā putrasyāmitatejasaḥ
Wika ni Bhīṣma: Nang masilayan ang kadakilaang iyon—ang pambihirang karangalan ng kaniyang anak na may ningning na di masukat—ang isip ay napupukaw sa paggalang at sa pagninilay sa kapangyarihan ng dharma at ng tadhana.

The line highlights how perceiving true greatness (mahimā) and boundless inner radiance (amita-tejas) naturally evokes respect and ethical reflection—suggesting that virtue and power, when rightly understood, should lead to humility and discernment rather than pride.
Bhīṣma is describing a moment of recognition: someone beholds the remarkable greatness of a son characterized by immeasurable splendor. The verse functions as a transitional observation, setting up the consequences or response that follows in the surrounding passage.
