Educational Q&A
The verse underscores that deliberations on dharma and right conduct are not merely personal or political; they resonate with the cosmic moral order. The arrival of Lokapālas and major deities implies that ethical counsel carries universal authority and consequences.
Śalya narrates that as Bṛhaspati is speaking, several powerful deities—Kubera, Yama, Soma, and Varuṇa—arrive at the scene, forming a divine gathering that frames the discussion as momentous and dharma-centered.
