Educational Q&A
Righteous character and vulnerability can evoke protective, familial care beyond blood ties: sages relate to a worthy person as brother, friend, or son, emphasizing dharmic responsibility to nurture and safeguard those under one’s care.
The narrator describes how different people among the sages formed close bonds with the person being spoken of—some as brothers, some as friends—while many ṛṣis treated him as their own son and actively protected him.
