Sage Parāśara
FAQs
This verse presents Viṣṇu as the very form of revelation—Veda and its auxiliary sciences—implying that ultimate authority, ritual order, and sacred meaning all rest in Him as the Supreme Reality.
By listing Śikṣā, Kalpa, Nirukta, Chandas, and Jyotiṣa, Parāśara shows that not only the Vedas but also the disciplines that preserve, interpret, and apply them are expressions of Viṣṇu’s power.
Viṣṇu is portrayed as both the content and the means of sacred knowledge, aligning with Vaiṣṇava theology where the Supreme Person is the ground of dharma, scripture, and the cosmos that the Purāṇa will later describe.
