Even the Earth, burdened by events and moral disorder, seeks resolution through divine counsel; this underscores that dharma is upheld not merely by human power but by alignment with a larger cosmic and ethical order.
Vyāsa describes a divine assembly: the Earth has approached the gods for a specific purpose, and Nārada along with other divine seers are present; Vyāsa reports that he witnessed this scene.
