Educational Q&A

The verse highlights that raw might, especially when aligned with adharma, can destabilize the world and intimidate even divine powers; therefore, true order depends on dharma, not mere strength.

Bhīṣma describes a moment when various groups of gods—Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Maruts, the Aśvins, and the Sādhyas—become fearful due to the extraordinary prowess of a Daiteya, indicating a crisis that threatens cosmic balance.
