व्यादीपयंस्तेजसा च त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम् । वह बालक अपने तेजसे चराचर प्राणियोंको प्रकाशित करता हुआ पर्वतों, नदियों और झरनोंकी ओर दौड़ने लगा था

毗湿摩说道：“他以自身的光辉照耀三界——一切动与不动之物——那少年以炽盛的威光灼然发亮，遂奔向群山、江河与瀑布。”

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.
