Where ill-will dissolves, friendliness grows — and the gentle are the strong.
The Arc
The Rahau lifts trouble through remembrance and lets real peace arrive. The first verse relocates strength: the taan of the humble and loving is the One who makes all beings well and ends fear — dignity drawn from truth, not force. The close is reconciliation itself — friendliness growing where ill-will had been — and the singer coming fully alive by voicing the One's goodness. A fitting close to the numbered run at ||112||.
