FAQs
This verse frames creation as an ordered system: the Lord not only manifests plurality but also appoints each element, sense-object, and body to its proper role, making cosmic order intelligible and purposeful.
Parāśara attributes diversity (nānātva) to the Supreme Lord’s deliberate arranging power: multiplicity appears in sense-objects, elements, and bodies through His own act of creation and allocation of functions.
