Educational Q&A
When yajña (sacrificial duty) and svadhā (ancestral offerings) are obstructed, both divine welfare and social-cosmic stability decline; adharma spreads not only through violence but through the suppression of rightful rites and obligations.
Bhīṣma recounts an old account in which the Asuras defeat the Devas and deprive them of their sacrificial rites; the Pitṛs’ offerings are also cut off, leading to the gods’ loss of prosperity and their wandering in distress—setting a backdrop for instruction on restoring order through dharma.
