Educational Q&A
Collective excellence or divine power concentrated in one leader becomes a moral burden: it must be sustained with restraint, humility, and responsibility, not treated as personal entitlement.
Śakra (Indra) addresses the Devarāja, referring to the twelve Ādityas, and declares that he alone had been sustaining the combined radiance of all of them—highlighting his role as the bearer of their shared splendor.
