"O Kakuthsa! Here is your father, teacher in the mortal world, king Dasharatha seated in the aerial car."
It affirms reverence for father and elders as ‘guru’—a key pillar of dharma—linking family hierarchy to moral education.
Mahādeva points out Daśaratha, now in celestial radiance, seated in a vimāna, to Rāma.
Filial piety and humility: recognizing one’s father as a moral teacher, not merely a biological parent.
