True strength is met rightly through humility and reverence: when confronted with a higher, divine power, the proper dharmic response is to restrain ego and seek harmony by propitiation rather than rivalry.
Vāyudeva narrates that the gods and sages, witnessing Rudra’s formidable prowess, become fearful and then collectively attempt to please Śiva (Śarva) to obtain his grace and avert danger.
