Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma as reliability in action: once an obligation is accepted, one should complete it promptly and deliver what was obtained to the rightful recipient, without attachment or delay.
After agreeing (“tathā”), and with Garuḍa’s accompaniment, the party takes the horses and the maiden and proceeds to Viśvāmitra, indicating the completion of a task connected with fulfilling a demanded offering.
