अन्येषां सर्वयक्षाणां राज्ये वैश्रवणं पुनः । विष्णुमेव महाप्राज्ञमादित्यानां पितामहः
anyeṣāṃ sarvayakṣāṇāṃ rājye vaiśravaṇaṃ punaḥ | viṣṇumeva mahāprājñamādityānāṃ pitāmahaḥ

FAQs
The verse identifies Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera) as the ruler/sovereign among the Yakṣas, reflecting a traditional Purāṇic hierarchy of divine and semi-divine beings.
Pitāmaha means “grandsire/forefather.” The verse attributes ultimate ancestral primacy to Viṣṇu with respect to the Ādityas, aligning with a Vaishnava theological emphasis on Viṣṇu as the foundational divine source.
It conveys an ordered cosmology: different classes of beings have presiding figures, and above such delegated rulership the text highlights Viṣṇu’s superior theological status.
