तं दृष्ट्वा दूरतो देवा द्वितीयमिव भास्करम् । ज्वलज्ज्वलनसंकाशैरंगैः सर्वत्रसोज्ज्वलम्
taṃ dṛṣṭvā dūrato devā dvitīyamiva bhāskaram | jvalajjvalanasaṃkāśairaṃgaiḥ sarvatrasojjvalam
诸天从远处望见他,以为如同第二个太阳;其肢体宛若烈焰腾燃,光辉遍照四方。
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devas gaze from afar at a tapasvin whose body shines like a second sun; limbs appear like tongues of flame, illuminating the surroundings of Kāśī.
Intense tapas manifests as tejas—spiritual radiance recognized even by the gods.
The scene unfolds within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s sacred landscape, where austerity and Śiva-upāsanā are especially efficacious.
No new rite is prescribed; the verse describes the visible fruit of sustained japa/tapas—radiant tejas.
