FAQs
Here 'Ananta' stresses Vishnu’s infinity: all worlds exist within Him, arise from Him, and return to Him at dissolution, marking Him as the ultimate, unbounded ground of reality.
Parāśara frames a threefold cosmology: the universe is contained in Vishnu (support), emerges from Vishnu (origination), and rests in Vishnu during laya/pralaya (dissolution), presenting a complete cycle under one supreme principle.
It portrays Vishnu as the regulator and inner basis of Prakṛti’s functioning—nature’s laws operate as His expression—supporting a Vaishnava view where the Supreme remains transcendent yet governs immanent cosmic order.
