Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that even a small stimulus can awaken a person from negligence; likewise, a timely reminder, sign, or counsel can rouse one toward dharma and self-restraint.
Aṅgirā speaks using a vivid everyday analogy: the jingling sound of ornaments (girdle and anklets) can wake someone who is asleep, illustrating how awakening—literal or moral—can be triggered by a recognizable cue.
