Educational Q&A
The verse highlights tapas—voluntary endurance of hardship—as a means of cultivating self-mastery and forbearance. By consciously accepting discomfort (the repeated impact of heavy rain), the ascetic trains steadiness of mind and commitment to dharma.
A sage, during the rainy season, stands under the open sky and repeatedly lets the rain strike his head, deliberately receiving the downpour as part of his ascetic observance.
