Narrator
When a decisive act is accomplished, the wise (munis) and gods recognize (paśyanti) the rightful agent; cosmic restoration proceeds through coordinated divine roles.
Seek validation through transparent, accomplished action; let outcomes be witnessed by the wise rather than asserted by force.
