FAQs
This verse presents the Sun’s month-by-month movement as a sacred framework where Vishnu’s supreme, Veda-embodied power continuously “takes station,” implying that timekeeping and cosmic order are expressions of Vishnu’s governance.
Parāśara identifies a ‘Trayīmayī’ (three-Veda-formed) Vishnuśakti that abides wherever the Sun is positioned, indicating that Vedic authority and cosmic rhythms are not separate—both are grounded in Vishnu’s sustaining power.
Vishnu is shown as the supreme ground of cosmic stability: even the Sun’s regular motion becomes a vehicle for Vishnu’s power, affirming Vishnu’s sovereignty over time, order, and dharma.
