Educational Q&A
The passage emphasizes reassurance grounded in a promised outcome: fear and agitation should be relinquished when a just resolution is assured. Ethically, it highlights the power of truthful assurance and the restoration of rightful identity (sva-rūpa) after a destined event.
Bhīṣma recounts that Kubera declares a condition: once Śikhaṇḍin is killed, the Yakṣa will recover his original form. Kubera then departs with his swift-moving attendants, having comforted the Yakṣa Sthūṇa and the gathered Yakṣas.
