FAQs
This verse signals a Manvantara transition—an organizing principle in which cosmic governance (Manu’s era) changes, and beings realign according to the divine order that sustains the universe.
By describing them as “samavāyīkṛtāḥ” (made to cohere), Parāśara presents these gatherings as structured, not accidental—events compelled by the universe’s ordained rhythm as time turns from one Manu-period to another.
Though not named in this line, the Manvantara order belongs to Vishnu’s sustaining sovereignty: the regularity of Manu-cycles and their assemblies reflects the preservation (sthiti) governed by the Supreme Reality.
