व्यास उवाच । यदा संज्ञा च राजेंद्र सूर्यार्थंं चैकचेतसा । तेपे बकुलवृक्षाधः पत्युस्तेजः प्रशां तये
vyāsa uvāca | yadā saṃjñā ca rājeṃdra sūryārthaṃṃ caikacetasā | tepe bakulavṛkṣādhaḥ patyustejaḥ praśāṃ taye
Vyāsa đáp: Tâu đại vương, khi Saṃjñā một lòng vì Mặt Trời mà tu khổ hạnh dưới gốc cây bakula, ấy là để làm dịu ánh quang rực cháy của phu quân nàng.
Vyāsa
Tirtha: Bakulārka
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: Saṃjñā sits in austerity beneath a flowering bakula tree, hands in japa-mudrā; the Sun’s fierce radiance appears above, gradually softening as her tapas continues.
Tapas undertaken with focused intention can harmonize overwhelming power, turning fierce tejas into благful, life-supporting radiance.
The bakula tree setting becomes the sacred marker for Bakulārka’s māhātmya within Dharmāraṇya.
Tapas (austerity) and one-pointed devotion are described as the means by which Saṃjñā sought pacification of Sūrya’s tejas.
