Here the king, moved by praise of Astika, prepares to grant him a boon — and thereby unwittingly opens the door to the serpents’ salvation. Janamejaya’s insight is telling: ‘he is no child — to me he seems an elder’; thus the king discerns in the young brahmin a maturity of wisdom exceeding his years. Here worth is shown to be measured not by age but by knowledge and righteousness; ‘even a young brahmin is honored by kings,’ declares the assembly. Yet notice too the persistence of wrath: even while favorably disposed to Astika, the king does not relent from vengeance — ‘Takshaka is my enemy, let him come.’ Thus in a single heart dwell both goodwill toward the righteous and an unquenched thirst for retribution; and the god of fire himself reveals that Takshaka is sheltered with Indra — that is, the chief culprit remains beyond reach. This again lays bare the futility of the rite: the king is ready to grant any boon, yet cannot attain his true goal — Takshaka’s destruction; and this very boon will become the instrument by which Astika turns the rite back.
