When duties and divine tasks become overwhelming, the remedy is not mere force but right understanding: guidance grounded in ātma-jñāna (self-knowledge) arrives to stabilize the mind and enable dharmic action.
Hayagrīva promises to manifest in the future as a teacher of self-knowledge when needed, and after giving this assurance he disappears on the spot; Vyāsa reports this speech.
