FAQs

Śiva’s cosmic household includes Gaṇas who serve and play within divine order; devotion includes recognizing the sacred community around the deity.

The mountain setting (Mandara) is the sacred locale implied in the surrounding verses.

None; the verse clarifies the identity of the Gaṇas within the narrative.
