Educational Q&A
The boon is explicitly described as hita—truly beneficial—suggesting that rightful gifts and powers should be oriented toward genuine welfare and moral good, not merely toward desire or dominance.
Sañjaya reports that Varuṇa, being pleased, speaks and offers a boon to a male recipient (“to him”), framing it as a beneficial grant.
