Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical and cultural norm that true authority—especially when expressed through a weighty, divine or principled utterance—naturally evokes reverence. Wonder (vismaya) here functions as a moral response that leads to honoring what is perceived as aligned with higher order.
Sañjaya reports to the King that, after Indra’s words were heard, all beings became astonished and immediately proceeded to honor him, indicating the impact and acceptance of Indra’s pronouncement within the scene.
