Dharma’s moral order includes recognition and consequence: divine confirmation follows disciplined effort, and the cosmic witness (Brahmā) affirms the legitimacy of earned spiritual status.

After granting acknowledgement to Viśvāmitra, Brahmā departs with the gods to Brahmaloka.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

Authority with restraint: Brahmā speaks what is necessary and withdraws, leaving the ascetic’s journey to continue.
