Disant : « Qu’il en soit ainsi », le plus éminent des daityas fut abattu par la Personne Suprême, dispensatrice du bien suprême. Alors il accorda aux dieux l’intrépidité, et de même il donna le nectar (amṛta) aux divinités.

FAQs

The Supreme grants both worldly protection (abhaya, sudhā) and the highest good (paramārtha), showing layered divine compassion.

The verse sits within Kedārakhaṇḍa, tied to the Kedāra sacred landscape, though it narrates a cosmic resolution.

None explicitly; it describes divine bestowal rather than human practice.
