Truly extraordinary righteous acts—especially a sage’s boon granted through spiritual authority—do not remain hidden; they become known and carry moral weight, drawing attention even from the gods. The verse underscores the ethical seriousness of giving boons and the far-reaching impact of ascetic merit.
Parvata states that a remarkable occurrence became famous in the world, and that Indra also learned of the great sage’s boon-granting. The line functions as a narrative transition, highlighting the event’s magnitude and setting up divine involvement or response.
