FAQs
“Sahasranetra” is a common epithet of Indra. The verse says the man is produced from Indra’s blood, by the speaker’s grace.
It indicates that the person is not ordinary but carries a portion (aṁśa) of the speaker’s own divine power/essence, suggesting a divinely empowered agent rather than a purely human origin.
The verse frames an act of duty: the listener is instructed to place/engage this divinely empowered person on earth at a specific cosmic time (the end of Dvāpara), emphasizing obedience to divine timing and purpose.
