FAQs
The verse foretells that in the Tretā-yuga, the speaker will be born as the listener’s son and will be known by the name Rāma.
“Pativratā” denotes a woman steadfastly devoted to her husband, highlighting marital fidelity as a valued dharmic ideal in the Purāṇic milieu.
By announcing a birth as “Rāma” in the Tretā-yuga, the verse aligns with the Purāṇic theme of divine descent (avatāra) across yugas for the restoration of dharma.
