FAQs
It portrays saṃsāra as an overpowering current: when beings are flooded by moha (delusion) and śoka (grief), they lose clarity and are rapidly carried along, urging the seeker toward discrimination (viveka) and liberation-oriented practice.
By highlighting how helpless the world becomes under delusion, the verse indirectly supports taking refuge in the Divine (especially Vishnu-bhakti in the Purana’s broader teaching) as a stabilizing boat across the turbulent stream of saṃsāra.
No specific Vedanga technique is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline—cultivating viveka and vairagya—so that scriptural study and practice are not drowned by moha and śoka.
