Educational Q&A

The verse links spiritual authority to dharma: one who becomes a source or embodiment of Dharma gains the capacity to summon divine forces, suggesting that ethical-spiritual stature legitimizes power rather than mere force.

Vaiśampāyana delivers a prophetic assurance to an addressed woman, praising her auspiciousness and foretelling that she will become ‘the mother of Dharma’ and that any deities she ritually invokes will be subject to her command.
