FAQs
Gandharvas are celestial beings associated with music and royal courts of the gods; in narrative passages they often function as divine attendants or messengers who can travel swiftly between realms.
“Trailokya” commonly denotes the three cosmic realms—heaven, earth, and the nether regions—used here as a hyperbolic way to stress absolute authority and universal reach.
The verse underscores accountability and duty: a subordinate is expected to carry out a rightful instruction promptly, and failure to do so is portrayed as socially and cosmically unacceptable.
