Educational Q&A
Ignoring legitimate admonition and showing favoritism—especially in relationships—breeds renewed anger and social imbalance; ethical conduct requires restraint, fairness, and respect for rightful counsel.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Moon, despite Dakṣa’s instruction, continued to live with Rohiṇī; as a result, the other women (implicitly Dakṣa’s other daughters/wives of the Moon) became angry again.
