Educational Q&A

The verse highlights a movement from hardship to relief: when the needed rain arrives, beings become 'satisfied' and return to their proper place. Implicitly, it points to harmony with natural order—needs are met without excess, and life resumes its rightful course.

A great inundation-like scene is described: the earth is covered by innumerable water-waves. Having been satisfied by the rainfall, the serpents (Nāgas) proceed with their mother to the island named Ramaṇīyaka.
