pōdhu aṛindhu – Just as the sages relinquish their rajo guṇa (passion) and tamo guṇa (ignorance) to embrace solely the sāttvika guṇa (nobility), recognizing the arrival of Brahma muhūrta (the auspicious time between 4 and 6 in the morning), similarly, the monkeys become cognizant of this time and, akin to Ekāgīs (solitary ascetics), they remain awake.
