FAQs

Service to a guest or superior after hospitality (upāsanā/sevā) is presented as dharmic refinement—relationship is maintained not only by giving food but by respectful attendance.

The colophon is structural; the narrative remains ākhyāna. It does not directly instantiate sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa, though it sits within vaṃśa-linked royal legend.

‘Wind-eaters’ evokes prāṇa symbolism; attending the prāṇa-linked beings after ‘feeding’ suggests honoring subtle life-forces after satisfying gross needs.
