Adhyaya 16 — The Son’s Counsel on Renunciation and the Anasuya–Mandavya Episode: The Suspension of Sunrise and the Power of Pativrata

tato 'patat puṣpa-vṛṣṭir deva-vādyādi-nisvanaḥ | lebhire ca mudaṃ devā anasūyām athābruvan ||

The Purāṇic idiom uses cosmic ‘omens’ to show that moral order (ṛta/dharma) is acknowledged by higher realms. Virtue attracts harmony—symbolized by flowers (māṅgalya) and music (sāttvika resonance).
Ākhyāna: narrative confirmation through divine response; not a manvantara or sarga passage.
Flower-rain signifies subtle blessings (sūkṣma anugraha) descending when a vow reaches completion (siddhi). Celestial sound indicates alignment with higher ‘vibration’—a poetic rendering of spiritual attainment.
