FAQs
It refers to the Samudra-manthana (churning of the Ocean of Milk), performed jointly by the Devas and Dānavas to obtain divine treasures, including amṛta.
The verse highlights Viṣṇu’s protective role: when the cosmic undertaking involves competing forces, he empowers the Devas so dharma is upheld and the churning can reach its intended outcome.
It suggests that righteous aims may require divine support and inner strength; perseverance in a demanding task (like the churning) succeeds when aligned with dharma and sustained by higher guidance.
