Educational Q&A
Legitimate success—especially in matters shaping lineage and dharma—arises from tapas and proper propitiation, and is mediated by the moral-spiritual authority of a sage; Vasiṣṭha’s tejas functions as the enabling force for the rightful marriage.
Vasiṣṭha narrates that King Saṁvaraṇa, after worshipping the boon-giving Lord (here understood as Sūrya), receives Tapatī as his wife, and that this outcome is attributed to Vasiṣṭha’s spiritual power.
