Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes dharma as reliability: one should honor an agreed time and keep one’s commitment. It also links ethical action with ṛta (cosmic order) by marking the proper moment through the Sun’s transition to uttarāyaṇa.

Vaiśaṃpāyana addresses a king and instructs him to return at a specific, ritually significant time—when the Sun’s southern course ends and uttarāyaṇa begins—indicating a planned meeting or promised return tied to a calendrical turning point.
