Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The line underscores continuity of moral evaluation: what is praised as ‘endowed with all excellences’ in the Great Departure context is affirmed again here, implying that true worth is measured by enduring virtues rather than transient power.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana briefly links the present Svargārohaṇa narration to the earlier Mahāprāsthānika account, stating that the same description—‘possessed of all desirable qualities’—applies here as well.
