Educational Q&A
The verse highlights lokahita—acting from the motive of universal welfare. Even powerful beings are opposed not out of hatred but to protect the world’s order; righteous action is framed as a duty undertaken for the common good.
After witnessing Vṛtrāsura’s extraordinary might, Bṛhaspati and other great sages go to Mahādeva (Śiva) and submit a request that Vṛtrāsura be destroyed, motivated by concern for the welfare of the worlds.
