Educational Q&A

Righteous rule is sustained by dharma: sacred rites purify and orient the mind, while learned Brahmins support a virtuous king through truthful praise and benediction. The verse highlights sanctity (Soma-mixed water) and the ethical ideal of harmony between spiritual authority and royal responsibility.

The king reaches the river Payoshnī, drinks its sanctified water—described as mixed with sacrificial Soma—and stays there. Joyful eminent Brahmins then extol him with excellent hymns, marking a moment of ritual purity and public affirmation of his virtue.
