Shloka 30
मातापितृपूजन-प्रधानधर्मः (Primacy of Filial Service) — Mārkaṇḍeya’s Account of the Vyādha’s Instruction
तस्य वारि महाराज सुस््राव बहु देहतः । तदापीय ततस्तेजो राजा वारिमयं नृूप
tasya vāri mahārāja susrāva bahu dehataḥ | tad āpīya tatas tejo rājā vārimayaṁ nṛpa ||
马尔坎德耶说道：“噢大王，他的身体涌出大量清水。国王饮下那水之后，元气与威力便得以复苏，仿佛为水所充盈——重获新生，焕然一新。”

The verse highlights restoration through a purifying, life-sustaining element: water becomes a vehicle for renewed tejas (vital power). In the ethical frame of the epic, it suggests that depletion and suffering can be followed by renewal when one receives and rightly uses what sustains life.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes a wondrous event: water pours from someone’s body in abundance. The king then drinks that water, and as a result his tejas returns—he is revived and described as ‘vārimaya,’ as though permeated with water, i.e., refreshed and reconstituted.
