Educational Q&A
When even powerful beings are overwhelmed, the proper response is to seek refuge in a higher sustaining principle (here, Soma), emphasizing dependence, humility, and the restorative role of sacred support.
A crisis befalls the gods along with the Pitṛs; being struck and distressed, they turn to Soma as their protector and support, indicating a shift from struggle to supplication.
