FAQs
It highlights dramatic irony: Kaṃsa publicly honors Devakī and Vasudeva, yet this very moment sets the chain of events that leads to Viṣṇu’s descent and Kaṃsa’s eventual downfall.
By narrating ordinary royal ceremony alongside looming consequence, Parāśara implies that human actions unfold within Viṣṇu’s higher ordering—history becoming a vehicle for dharma’s restoration.
Even before Krishna is explicitly foregrounded, the narrative points to Viṣṇu as the supreme governor of outcomes—guiding events toward the avatāra that re-establishes cosmic balance.
