Educational Q&A
When the cause and the moral weight of an event (here, a curse and its origin) are understood, the proper response is timely, fitting action aligned with dharma—especially by those disciplined through tapas.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana states that the listeners have understood both the reason behind a curse and the curse itself, and that the assembled ascetics will now undertake the appropriate course of action demanded by the situation.
