Here even the wise Vasishtha does not intervene -- out of respect for his grandson's vow. It is significant that he, who earlier turned Parashara away from destroying the worlds, does not stop the lesser evil: so as not to render the given vow futile. From this it is seen how sacred a word remains even in excess -- Vasishtha spares the vow, though he grieves over the victims. Significant too is that "old and young" rakshasas suffer, innocent of Shakti's death: vengeance, as before, does not distinguish the guilty. Thus the scripture shows that respect for a vow does not annul the wrong of collective punishment; and a new intervention will be needed to stop the slaughter of the innocent.
