Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that since unseen beings may move freely in the world, a householder should maintain protective, rakṣa-destroying safeguards at home; practical protection is part of dharma, not mere superstition.
Bhishma concludes an explanation given to the king, stating that he has fully answered a major doubt and urging that the described anti-rakṣas protections be kept in households.
