FAQs
It portrays intense śaraṇāgati (surrender) through lament and remembrance of Jagannātha as the supreme governor of creation, preservation, and dissolution—turning distress into direct God-centered invocation.
Bhakti here appears as urgent nāma-smaraṇa and stuti in crisis: the devotees call on “Jagannātha” and acknowledge His cosmic lordship, showing that devotion is sustained by remembrance of God’s sovereignty in all states—sṛṣṭi, sthiti, and laya.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this line; the key takeaway is theological vocabulary used in Purāṇic stuti—identifying the deity by functions (kāraka of sṛṣṭi-sthiti-anta), a common interpretive tool in Itihāsa-Purāṇa exposition.
