Gṛhastha-Vrata
सुदर्शनस्तु रूपेण पूर्णेन्दुसद्शोपम: । शिशुरेवाध्यगात् सर्व परं ब्रह्म सनातनम्
Sudarśanas tu rūpeṇa pūrṇendu-sadṛśopamaḥ | śiśur evādhyagāt sarvaṁ paraṁ brahma sanātanam ||
Bhīṣma nói: “Sudarśana rạng ngời dung mạo như trăng rằm; tuy còn là một đứa trẻ, chàng đã thấu triệt mọi điều và chứng đạt Phạm (Brahman) tối thượng, vĩnh cửu.”

Educational Q&A
True realization of the supreme, eternal Brahman is not limited by age or social status; inner purity and insight can lead even a child to the highest knowledge.
Bhīṣma praises Sudarśana’s extraordinary spiritual attainment, describing his luminous appearance and stating that, despite being a child, he realized all and reached the supreme Brahman.
