In his bodily strength and in the strength of his senses, Mahārāja Pṛthu was as strong as the wind, which can go anywhere and everywhere. As far as his intolerance was concerned, he was just like the all-powerful Rudra expansion of Lord Śiva, or Sadāśiva.

Translation
He was like Mātariśvā, pervading everywhere with his bodily, mental and sense strength. He was intolerant like Lord Śiva.
Sarvātmā means spreading everywhere.

Personal Guidance
Bodily strong as the wind, fierce as Rudra. The leader's body is in good repair; spiritual fire doesn't preclude bodily power.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I let my body decline in the name of spiritual life?
- What discipline could keep my body wind-strong for the work I'm called to?
