Educational Q&A

The verse frames the Sun and Moon as ‘the two eyes of Dharma,’ suggesting that righteousness is not merely private intention but a cosmic, observable order—illumined and witnessed by universal principles.

Gālava addresses Garuḍa with a series of honorific epithets and requests to be carried eastward, toward the realm where the Sun and Moon shine—marking a purposeful journey under the sign of Dharma.
