So zufrieden sprach Viṣṇu zu ihm: „So wird es sein.“ Dann ging er zu ihnen, hielt ihren Kampf an und redete zu beiden.

Concept: Divine assurance (‘so it shall be’) is followed by decisive peacemaking; compassion must become action.

FAQs
Viṣṇu, being satisfied, confirms that events will unfold as promised, then personally intervenes to stop a battle and addresses both opponents.
It emphasizes Viṣṇu as the preserver who restores order—affirming outcomes (“so it shall be”) and actively preventing destructive conflict.
Even when conflict escalates, restraint and timely intervention—especially by an authority committed to dharma—are presented as higher than victory through violence.
