Mahāvasu’s Fall by Speech-Error and Release through Devotion (अज-विवादः वसोः शापः विमोचनं च)
तत्रैवोवास मेधावी व्रतचारी समाहित: । तदनन्तर महातेजस्वी अरणिसम्भूत शुक वह दिव्य जन्म पाकर ब्रह्मचर्यकी दीक्षा ले वहीं रहने लगे। वे बड़े बुद्धिमान, व्रतपालक तथा चित्तको एकाग्र रखनेवाले थे
tatraivovāsa medhāvī vratacārī samāhitaḥ | tad-anantaraṃ mahātejasvī araṇi-sambhūtaḥ śukaḥ saḥ divya-janma prāpya brahmacarya-dīkṣāṃ lebhe tatraiva nyavasat | sa buddhimān vratapālakaś ca cittaikāgrya-parāyaṇaḥ āsīt |
毗湿摩说道：就在那处，智者安住其间——誓戒坚定，心神摄持。其后，光辉炽盛的舒迦（Śuka），由取火木（arani）而生，得获神圣之生，受持梵行（brahmacarya）之入门灌顶，仍居于彼处不移。他聪慧绝伦，严守誓戒，专志于一境之定。

Educational Q&A
The passage upholds brahmacarya, vow-observance, and mental collectedness as foundations of spiritual excellence: true radiance comes from disciplined conduct and one-pointed concentration rather than from external power.
Bhishma describes Shuka’s extraordinary origin (linked with the araṇi fire-sticks) and then narrates how Shuka takes brahmacarya initiation and remains living there as a disciplined ascetic—wise, steadfast in vows, and focused in mind.
