“Now, by his own free will, let him go forth to the worlds, spreading his fame and bringing happiness to us both. From that time onward, this son of Ambikā roamed and sported at will through all the worlds, fulfilling his desire.”

FAQs
The verse frames ‘loka-yātrā’ (moving through worlds) as purposeful when aligned with dharma—spreading kīrti (good renown) and generating sukha (well-being) for others, rather than mere wandering.
Bhakti is implied through the ideal of kīrti earned by righteous, God-aligned conduct: true renown in Purāṇic ethics arises from actions that please the sacred order and benefit others, a hallmark of devotional life.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught directly in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical—act by right intention (icchā guided by dharma) so that one’s worldly movement yields auspicious results.
