FAQs

This verse presents Rohiṇī as one who “ascends to the proper station” and identifies her as a divine designation connected with Āditya, ultimately described as a manifestation (svarūpa) of Nārāyaṇa.

By stating that the named figure (Rohiṇī/Āditya-bhāryā) is “Nārāyaṇa’s svarūpa,” the verse frames the deity or divine principle as appearing through specific names and roles while remaining rooted in Nārāyaṇa.

It encourages seeing sacred names and roles as pointers to a deeper divine reality—cultivating reverence, clarity in worship, and a theistic understanding that multiple forms can express one supreme principle.
