FAQs
It elevates lajjā (virtuous modesty) as an eternally perfected, divine quality born of pure love—an inner ornament that supports purity and spiritual joy.
By describing modesty as ‘made of pure love,’ the verse implies that genuine bhakti naturally expresses itself as humble restraint and reverence, culminating in divine joy rather than mere social propriety.
While not a technical Vedanga rule, it points to sādhana through sadācāra (right conduct): cultivating inner restraint and purity—foundational disciplines that support mantra, ritual, and study.
