Educational Q&A
True power is guided by right knowledge: those who understand the spiritual and social significance of Brāhmaṇas should naturally treat them with proper respect and correct conduct.
Vāyu argues by emphasizing the extraordinary capacities attributed to exalted beings—able to create worlds and their rulers—and concludes that such enlightened, powerful persons would not neglect proper behavior toward Brāhmaṇas once they truly know their importance.
