FAQs
The verse names King Subāhu and a figure called Sutārkṣya, each described as being with their beloved companions.
A vimāna is a divine or celestial conveyance (a heavenly chariot/vehicle) used by exalted beings or granted in extraordinary circumstances within Purāṇic narratives.
It depicts a transition scene: Subāhu, with his beloved, is seated in a conveyance and then descends from a vimāna, alongside Sutārkṣya and his beloved.
