FAQs
Even divine boons, when sought without dharma, become the seed of later downfall; the Purāṇa frames this as a prelude to restoring cosmic order.
The verse is narrative background; the larger section glorifies Vastrāpathakṣetra within Prabhāsa, while this line references Kailāsa as Śiva’s abode.
None here; it describes asuras receiving boons.
