Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical restraint and reconciliation: anger is relinquished, gratitude is expressed, and the purifying, restorative power of a righteous sage is acknowledged—suggesting that spiritual merit can transform inner states (resentment) and outer conditions (strength, youth).
A revered figure is addressed with thanks: the speaker declares the absence of anger and credits the sage with purification and renewal, describing a return to youthful strength and a radiant body; the surrounding prose frames this as King Kushika’s pleased response to the sage.
