Educational Q&A

The verse highlights that honoring the righteous (vipras) aligns with dharma and is supported by cosmic authority (Varuṇa). It suggests that moral order ultimately protects and restores those who deserve reverence.

After being honored by Varuṇa, the brāhmaṇas who had been submerged (as implied by the context) rise up and suddenly appear near King Janaka, marking their restoration and return to the human scene.
