The trial's outcome and an exact image.
The comparison is not with a stone or a cliff, but with a mountain on its base: baddha-pīṭha, “with its footing made fast”. Śuka's steadiness lies not in hardness but in rootedness. The point is not that he resists, but that he has nothing to be moved from.
And the wind is called manda — “feeble”. From the book's standpoint, palace temptations are no storm. We think them strong because we stand unsteadily.
Vaiṣṇava thought adds to this its known rule: it is not the one who shuts his eyes who holds fast, but the one who has tasted the better. Śuka does not fight the viands — he has no need of them. Verse 2.1 said what occupies him: svarūpa-ānanda, the delight of his own nature.
It is not will that wins, but fullness.
