Educational Q&A

Sacred order can be renewed: when the righteous (munis) act in accordance with dharma and tapas, what is obstructed or diminished can be restored to its former purity and radiance.

The Sarasvatī’s waters are described as being released and returning to their earlier splendor; the narrator notes that this restoration is the result of the sages’ action, and the river shines as before.
