Here the drama resolves: though the truth spoken by Agni led to the abduction, virtue and the power of austerity protect the faithful wife. The very radiance of the newborn Chyavana, "like the sun," incinerates the rakshasa -- for purity born in the line of ascetics burns away wickedness by its splendor alone. Thus scripture reveals that spiritual power (brahma-tejas) is stronger than any violence: the defenseless child of a righteous man reduces a mighty demon to ash. The name "Chyavana" forever preserves the memory of this wonder. Brahma's compassion, consoling the weeping Puloma as his own daughter-in-law, and the river Vadhusara, born from her tears, show that the suffering of a righteous soul does not go unattended from above: even her tears are sanctified, becoming a sacred river. Here is comfort for every pure soul: the Lord and His representatives, such as Brahma, do not abandon devotees in sorrow, and their very pain, borne with humility, is transformed into holiness.
