Personal Guidance
Bṛhadrāja, Barhi, Kṛtaṣjaya, Raṇaṣjaya, Saṣjaya — generations of warriors and rulers. Many of these names mean 'conqueror' yet the line itself eventually ends. Even the conquerors are conquered by time.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'conquest' am I currently chasing that time will eventually undo?
- What conquest survives time, and am I devoting any energy to it?
