Vedika commentary
An altered capacity does not erase the possibility of contribution. His story can encourage a fresh use of experience, but it is not a promise of miraculous healing or a measure of anyone's worth.
Vedika distinguishes the original Sanskrit, a literal rendering, and an interpretive paraphrase so that the words of the text are never confused with explanation.
