The verse highlights the potency of tejas (spiritual radiance born of inner power/tapas): when it is great, it is not merely personal but cosmic in effect, touching all beings—moving and unmoving—thereby reminding the listener that inner discipline and virtue can have far-reaching influence.
Bhishma describes a wondrous child whose radiance illuminates the three worlds; the boy, shining intensely, runs toward natural landscapes—mountains, rivers, and waterfalls—emphasizing his extraordinary, almost divine presence.
