FAQs
The gods’ capacities are shown as derivative of Shakti; power is not merely possessed but personified and can be reconfigured toward dharmic ends. Ethically, it teaches humility of authority: even the highest devas depend on a deeper divine energy.
This is not Sarga/Pratisarga in the strict cosmogonic sense, but a theologically charged narrative (Vaṃśānucarita) illustrating the functional metaphysics of divine energies within purāṇic history.
Śaktis ‘emerging from bodies’ suggests withdrawal of limited identity into archetypal power. Their convergence upon Caṇḍikā indicates the integration of multiple faculties (creation, destruction, protection, command) into a single awakened force.
