Educational Q&A
When order collapses and suffering arises, one should seek rightful refuge in a higher principle of guidance and protection—here symbolized by Brahmā—so that dharma and balance may be restored rather than reacting in despair or disorder.
The gods realize that 'both worlds' have been seized or lost, become grief-stricken, and then approach Brahmā as their refuge, indicating a turning point where they seek divine counsel to address a cosmic crisis.
