Educational Q&A
That the stability of the world (prajā) depends on dharmic maintenance by higher powers; yogic mastery (yoga-aiśvarya) is portrayed not as self-display but as capacity used for protection and sustenance.
Śaunaka enumerates prominent divine groups—Rudras, Sādhyas, Ādityas, Vasus, and the Aśvin twins—stating that, empowered by yogic sovereignty, they uphold and nourish living beings, emphasizing cosmic administration and welfare.
