Adhyaya 78 — Hymn to Surya and the Distribution of Solar Splendour; Genealogy of Vaivasvata and Chaya’s Line
ततः स्वरूपमतुलं दर्शयामास भानुमान् ।
तस्यैषा च समालोक्य स्वरूपं मुदमाददे ॥
tataḥ svarūpamatulaṃ darśayāmāsa bhānumān / tasyaiṣā ca samālokya svarūpaṃ mudamādade
Bấy giờ Bhānumān (Thần Mặt Trời) hiển lộ chân tướng vô song của mình; và nàng, khi chiêm ngưỡng chân tướng ấy, liền tràn đầy hoan hỷ.
Harmony is restored through truth: the revelation of svarūpa resolves suspicion and re-establishes right relationship.
Vaṃśānucarita: the episode functions as a narrative hinge enabling the continuation and clarification of lineage.
Sūrya revealing ‘atulya-svarūpa’ mirrors the Upaniṣadic movement from appearance to essence: joy (ānanda) arises when reality is directly apprehended.
