Sandhi Resolution Notes: भवेत्तदा = भवेत् + तदा। प्राप्स्यामीह = प्राप्स्यामि + इह।
It portrays firm conviction and hopeful resolve: believing that great happiness will be attained, the person becomes absorbed in that thought and acts decisively by hurrying home.
Not directly in this standalone verse; it functions as narrative psychology—confidence, intention, and swift action—whose doctrinal setting depends on the surrounding chapter.
Clarity of purpose and faith in a wholesome outcome can energize action; when one is convinced of a good goal, hesitation drops and effort becomes prompt.
