FAQs
This verse highlights cyclical time: divine roles such as Indra and the Ādityas reappear in successive cosmic cycles to preserve dharma and maintain the universe’s functioning.
By listing recurring divine functionaries (Indra, Aryaman, Dhātṛ, Tvaṣṭṛ, Pūṣan), Parāśara indicates that creation is periodically renewed, yet its governing principles and offices are re-established each time.
Vishnu is presented not merely as one deity among many but as the sustaining supremacy behind the re-emergence of the cosmic administration—through whom order is restored whenever creation renews.
