Educational Q&A
The verse defines “mahāmoha” as intense attachment to sense-pleasures and warns that the desire for enjoyment can bewilder even exalted beings; therefore vigilance and self-mastery are essential for dharmic living.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener by characterizing a specific spiritual danger—attachment to pleasures—and emphasizing its power by noting that even ṛṣis, munis, and devas can be deluded when they pursue pleasure.
