Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

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.

What is happening in the narrative?

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.
