Translation
When Brahmā was fully informed by Aṅgirā about the entire incident, he severely chastised the moon-god, Soma. Brahmā delivered Tārā to her husband, who could then understand that she was pregnant.
Brahmā scolded the moon, took Tārā from him, and gave her to Bṛhaspati. Bṛhaspati understood that she was pregnant.
Personal Guidance
Brahmā chastises Soma severely and delivers Tārā back. Senior intervention — when finally accepted — can resolve catastrophes that escalated only because junior parties refused to yield earlier.
Reflection Questions
- Whose senior intervention have I been avoiding in a conflict I should have brought up sooner?
- Could I be that senior, willing to enter someone else's mess, today?
