Systems of Knowledge and Vyāsa’s Nārāyaṇa-Origin
न तत्राभ्यधिक: कक्षित् सर्वे ते समतेजस: । “हमलोगोंने तो यही समझा कि यह द्वीप तेजका ही निवासस्थान है। वहाँ कोई किसीसे बढ़कर नहीं था। सबका तेज समान था
na tatrābhyadhikaḥ kaścit sarve te samatejasaḥ |
毗湿摩说道：“在那里，无人高于他人；众人光辉等同。我们明白，这座岛仿佛是纯粹辉煌的居所——无人争先求胜，人人在内在威德之力上平等而立。”

Educational Q&A
True excellence is not measured by domination or rank but by inner tejas aligned with dharma; in a perfected or dharmic realm, superiority gives way to equality of spiritual power and dignity.
Bhīṣma describes a place (an island) characterized by uniform splendor: no individual outshines or overrules another, and all inhabitants are portrayed as equally radiant, suggesting a harmonized, elevated community.
