Translation

Wika ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “O dakilang hari, ang mga vānara ay nagsibangon muli, naibalik ang kanilang ulirat.” Nang pumayag si Brahmā at nagsabi, “Mangyari nawa,” at sa sandaling mabigkas ang mga salitang iyon, ang lahat ng vānara ay nagkamalay at nabuhay na muli.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The passage highlights the power of divine assent and the restoration that follows righteous intervention: when a higher authority grants ‘tathāstu’ (“so be it”), despair turns into renewed life and purpose.

What is happening in the narrative?

After Brahmā agrees—effectively granting a boon—his words immediately take effect, and the vānaras, who had fallen, regain consciousness and rise up alive.
