FAQs
This verse highlights Manvantara as a structured cosmic epoch in which divine beings re-enter the world through birth, showing how order is restored and maintained through recurring time-cycles.
By narrating the gods’ intention to “enter Aditi” and be born, Parāśara frames divine embodiment as a purposeful descent within cosmic chronology, not a random event.
Even when not named in the verse, the Manvantara framework belongs to Vishnu Purana’s vision of a universe governed by Vishnu’s supreme sovereignty, where divine descents serve dharma within his cosmic order.
