Educational Q&A

Compassion and righteous protection can transcend rigid social expectations: a person may be praised for undertaking any necessary duty (‘all works’) when guided by dharma, and such virtue becomes worthy of honor and protection.

Vāsudeva cites an earlier example: the powerful, sacrificially devoted sage Parāśara saved the life of King Saudāsa’s son. That prince, though ‘twice-born,’ became known as ‘Sarvakarmā’ because he performed all kinds of tasks; Vāsudeva invokes him as a protector.
