Ô roi, lorsque Indra et les autres dieux ne trouvèrent aucun moyen de contrer les actes des asuras, ils méditèrent de tout leur cœur sur Bhagavān, le soutien de l’univers ; et Il apparut aussitôt en ce lieu.
FAQs
This verse says that when even Indra and the demigods could find no remedy, they meditated on Bhagavān, and the Lord—maintainer of the universe—personally appeared to help.
Because they were unable to counter the crisis by their own means; taking shelter through meditation, they sought direct divine guidance and protection.
When practical options are exhausted, turn to sincere remembrance, prayer, and steady meditation on the Lord, cultivating humility and dependence on divine guidance rather than ego-driven control.
