Educational Q&A
Power and movement (symbolized by horses) should be governed by disciplined knowledge and sacred practice. The Upavedas, Gāyatrī, and Sāvitrī function as metaphors for restraint, right guidance, and ethically ordered action under dharma.
Vyāsa describes Maheśvara as the lord of the three worlds using Vedic elements as controlling gear: the Upavedas become the bridle, while Gāyatrī and Sāvitrī become the reins—an image of divine mastery and regulation.
