FAQs
It highlights how desire can inflate vows into extremes—promising even what is “not to be given.” In Purāṇic ethics, such speech warns against attachment-driven generosity that ignores dharma and propriety.
Indirectly, it contrasts worldly fixation (seeking to please through extravagant promises) with the steadiness expected in bhakti, where actions are governed by dharma and offered with discernment rather than passion.
Vyākaraṇa/semantic nuance is relevant: the opposition of “deya” (permissible gift) and “adeya” (impermissible) reflects dharma-based categories used in smṛti and ritual discourse to define what may or may not be given.
