Educational Q&A
The verse highlights moral accountability shaped by awareness: innocence or lack of understanding can lead one to overlook potential fault, yet actions still carry consequences when divine or powerful forces are invoked.
The speaker recalls being in a childlike, uncomprehending state and not grasping what wrongdoing might result; upon being invoked, the Sun-god (Sahasrāṃśu) appears and stands nearby.
