FAQs

A divine decree is depicted as immediately effective; the cosmos and its beings align with the Lord’s spoken assent.

The broader passage belongs to a tīrtha-māhātmya setting in Nāgara Khaṇḍa, but this verse itself does not name the site.

None directly; the verse advances the narrative by describing the effect of the discus-bearing deity’s words.
