Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes satya (truthfulness) and dhairya (steadfastness): a trustworthy guide reassures the fearful by grounding hope in truth and certainty, discouraging panic and urging confidence in rightful restoration.

Indrāṇī is distressed due to the threat posed by Nahūṣa. Bṛhaspati consoles her, promising that his words will prove true and that she will soon see Indra returned, so she should not be afraid.
