Educational Q&A
Even an exalted offering (amṛta) should not be imposed. A gift becomes meaningful only when freely accepted; refusal sets an ethical limit on the giver’s action.
Uttaṅka declares he will go to give amṛta to the Bhārgava, but if the recipient rejects it, he will not give it at all—anticipating a test of acceptance/refusal that shapes the outcome.
