True spiritual realization and disciplined renunciation command reverence even from divine beings; honor is shown not by power but by inner attainment aligned with dharma.
The presiding goddesses, gathered around, respectfully look upon Śukadeva (Vyāsa’s son), standing with folded hands, indicating their veneration and the elevated status of Śuka’s spiritual presence.
