Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
They function as narrative characterization within dynastic episodes, helping identify persons and scenes in the lineage stories rather than presenting direct cosmological doctrine.
He narrates genealogies and associated episodes to Maitreya, frequently pausing for vivid scene-setting and character description to make lineage narratives intelligible and memorable.
Even when a verse is primarily descriptive, it sits within a Purāṇic framework where dynastic history unfolds under Vishnu’s sovereign order—history and character are narrated as part of dharma sustained by the Supreme.
