Translation
O King Parīkṣit! As the Lord sat on his airplane of flowers, praised by women and reciters, he appeared like the moon with the stars and planets.
Personal Guidance
Rāma on His airplane appears like the moon among stars and planets. The single Lord, surrounded by devotees and Sītā, holds the center — yet the stars are not eclipsed, they shine because of Him.
Reflection Questions
- Am I trying to be a sun or willing to be a star around the Lord's moon?
- Whose light am I currently obscuring instead of orbiting?
