Vaiśampāyana said: “O King, having spoken thus, the venerable Sun-god disappeared then and there.” The moment underscores the divine as a moral witness—granting counsel or boon and then withdrawing, leaving humans to act responsibly upon what they have received.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Divine guidance may appear briefly, but its purpose is to empower ethical action; once counsel is given, the divine withdraws and the burden of dharma rests on the human agent.
After speaking (in the preceding context), the Sun-god is said to vanish on the spot, and Vaiśampāyana reports this to the king as a narrative closure to the divine encounter.
