Educational Q&A
Respect offered even to a feared or hostile being can evoke reciprocal respect; ethical conduct and courtesy can convert danger into friendship and lead to protection and benefit.
After the brāhmaṇa honors the rākṣasa, the rākṣasa responds by honoring the brāhmaṇa, accepting him as a friend, giving him wealth, and releasing him.
