Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Enjoyment (vihāra) is not condemned, but it is framed as dharmic when undertaken with propriety—here marked by the explicit permission of a revered sage (Vasiṣṭha), emphasizing restraint, consent, and respect for guidance.

What is happening in the narrative?

After receiving Vasiṣṭha’s approval, the royal sage Saṃvaraṇa expresses the wish to remain on that same mountain and enjoy time there together with his wife.
