তখন পুরুষশ্রেষ্ঠ সর্বশক্তিমান ভগবান শ্রীকৃষ্ণ এই কথাগুলির দ্বারাই তাদের সকলকে তেমনই সান্ত্বনা ও আনন্দ দিলেন, যেমন তাপে কাতর মানুষ জল পেয়ে প্রশান্ত হয়।

Educational Q&A

Compassionate speech is a dharmic act: timely, soothing words can relieve suffering as tangibly as water cools one scorched by heat, restoring emotional balance and moral clarity in times of grief.

After speaking consoling, ‘nectar-like’ words, Kṛṣṇa brings joy and relief to Subhadrā and the other women of the inner palace, and the text underscores the calming power of wise counsel through a vivid simile.
