Educational Q&A
When the mind becomes clear and devoted, destructive impulses like anger and cursing are relinquished; self-restraint and reverence restore dharmic conduct.
Uttanka addresses Acyuta, declaring that his earlier inclination to curse has ceased because his mind is now peaceful and oriented toward devotion to Acyuta.
