Vaiśampāyana nói: Thấy sức mạnh phát sinh từ khổ hạnh (tapas) của người ấy, bậc rực rỡ đại quang minh liền khiến mưa đổ xuống; và cho đến khi lễ tế ấy hoàn tất trọn vẹn, vị anh hùng có uy lực vô lượng ấy đã bảo đảm cho nghi lễ được tiến hành liên tục, không gián đoạn.

Educational Q&A

The verse links tapas (disciplined austerity) with the successful completion of yajña (sacrifice), implying that inner spiritual power and ethical restraint uphold public religious duty and social order.

Vaiśampāyana narrates that, upon witnessing the potency of someone’s austerities, a greatly radiant, mighty figure brings rain and ensures that the sacrifice proceeds without interruption until its completion.
