FAQs
The verse highlights how uncontrolled aggression and meaningless speech arise under the driving momentum of Kāla (Time), urging restraint, dharma, and mindful conduct—especially within sacred tirtha-mahātmya contexts.
By contrasting frantic, anartha-filled behavior with the implied ideal of self-control, it supports bhakti as a disciplining force: devotion steadies speech and action, redirecting impulse toward remembrance of the Divine rather than harm.
A practical takeaway aligns with Vyākaraṇa and Śikṣā values: disciplined, meaningful speech (vāṇī) is part of spiritual culture, while anartha-yukta words indicate loss of inner order and dharmic awareness.
