FAQs
This verse shows that devas may grant a desired boon, and that the proper response is respectful honoring (samyak sabhājana) rather than pride or entitlement.

Receive help or blessings with gratitude, offer due respect to benefactors and teachers, and continue your duties without becoming dependent on favors.
