FAQs
It describes extraordinary, omen-like phenomena: unusual sounds among the gods and a normally flowerless tree appearing in bloom—suggesting heightened cosmic disturbance or a significant turning point.

The verse implies that inner agitation (inflamed minds) and outer disruptions can coincide; it encourages steadiness and discernment when dramatic signs and collective excitement arise.
