आदित्यस्य हि तद्रूपं मंडलस्य तु तेजसा । गात्रेषु परिदध्यौ वै नातिकांतमिवाभवत्
ādityasya hi tadrūpaṃ maṃḍalasya tu tejasā | gātreṣu paridadhyau vai nātikāṃtamivābhavat
کیونکہ سورج کے قرص کی وہ تیز توانائی اُس کے اعضا پر چھا گئی؛ اور وہ اس شدید درخشانی کے غلبے سے یوں دکھائی دی گویا اب حد سے زیادہ دلکش نہ رہی۔
Gaṇas (continued explanation)

Listener: Dvijavarya (within Agastya→Lopāmudrā frame)
Scene: A solar-disc radiance pours onto Saṃjñā’s limbs like a mantle of light; her features are partially veiled by brilliance, making her appear less ‘pleasant’ in ordinary terms due to dazzling tejas.
