Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Divine favor is often expressed through the gift of capable, loyal attendants and protective support; ethical strength is reinforced by trustworthy service and sanctioned guardianship rather than by unchecked power.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana narrates that Pārvatī grants Agni’s son three attendants from her own retinue—Unmāda, Śaṅkukarṇa, and Puṣpadanta—indicating a formal bestowal of support and protection.
