FAQs
“Hari” is a common epithet of Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa in Purāṇic Sanskrit, used here to indicate a divine lord whose attendants or troop-leaders are being enumerated.
This verse reads like an onomastic list—recording notable names (likely attendants, chiefs, or members of a divine retinue). Such catalog-style verses are common in Purāṇas for preserving traditional lineages, groups, and sacred personnel.
“Yūthapa” means a leader of a group/host (yūtha), such as the chief of a troop, herd, or retinue; here it qualifies Suṣeṇa as a troop-leader associated with Hari.
