Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic order: when authority (Brahmā) assigns roles or portions (bhāga), the proper response is disciplined acceptance and respectful assent, sustaining harmony rather than rivalry.
A deity, having been instructed by Brahmā and having his allotted portion determined, responds affirmatively—“tathā” (“so be it”)—to Brahmā, acknowledging Brahmā’s directive and the established arrangement.
