FAQs

What is the core ethical principle (Dharma) in this verse?

It gestures to loka-saṃgraha (world-order): unchecked power (here, roaming winged mountains) can harm others, implying the need for restraint to preserve dharma.

What is the narrative situation?

A brief mythic recollection about winged mountains roaming the earth; in the supplied snippet it appears as an inserted/extra verse and is not context-linked explicitly.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

The implied virtue is self-restraint (dama): power should be governed so it does not become a source of suffering.
