Sandhi Resolution Notes: śarvādamitadyutimaṃḍalaṃ = śarvāt + amita-dyuti-maṇḍalam (t + a → d by sandhi); surārīṇām = sura + arīṇām; asaṃśayam = a- + saṃśayam (adverbial use).
The verse explicitly says he will be born “from Śarva,” i.e., from Śiva.
It presents a prophetic statement: the birth of a supremely radiant figure destined to destroy the enemies of the gods.
It implies the restoration of cosmic order (dharma) by removing forces hostile to divine harmony and righteousness.
