Narrator (contextual; specific dialogue speaker not identifiable from the single verse alone)
Concept: Visible prosperity becomes a social phenomenon; however, Purāṇic framing typically warns that loka-vismaya (public astonishment) is not the highest aim—true fruit is inner purification and alignment with dharma/bhakti.
Application: Do not measure spiritual success by public admiration; let any prosperity increase generosity, humility, and ethical living.
