Educational Q&A

True power (tejas) is not mere personal brilliance but is subordinate to dharma and the divine order; when confronted with the supreme, arrogance and self-will are checked, and humility becomes the fitting ethical response.

A figure’s radiance and confidence collapse upon beholding Viṣṇu, the boon-giving Lord of the gods; the sight of the deity overwhelms and rebukes his prior splendor, marking a turning point toward reverence and recognition of higher authority.
