Educational Q&A
Greatness is achieved through inner and outer discipline: honesty (ārjava), vigilant non-negligence (apramāda), serene clarity (prasāda), self-mastery (ātmavattā), and respectful service to elders (vṛddhaśuśrūṣā).
Prahlāda addresses Śakra (Indra) and summarizes the virtues that lead a person to an exalted state, presenting an ethical instruction within the didactic setting of the Śānti Parva.
