FAQs
This verse presents Vishnu as the ultimate source of Vedic revelation—Ṛk, Sāman, Yajus, and chandas—grounding dharma and cosmic order in the Supreme rather than in an independent or accidental origin.
Parāśara links sacred knowledge (Vedas and metres) with manifested beings (like horses), showing that both revelation and the living world arise from the same sovereign reality—Vishnu—within the Sarga framework.
