FAQs
It is an epithet emphasizing extraordinary speed and power—‘with the force/stride of the wind.’ Such compounds often mark a messenger figure capable of traversing sacred geography rapidly, enabling the text’s itinerary-like movement.
In many Purāṇic passages, ‘amara-parvata’ can function descriptively—‘a divine mountain’—without fixing a single modern identification. Context from adjacent verses (other named tīrthas, rivers, or regions) is typically needed to pin down a specific sacred mountain.
The verse presents Añjanā as someone the kapi summons. While Añjanā is famous elsewhere as Hanumān’s mother, this line alone does not confirm that identification; it may be the same figure or another bearer of the name within this chapter’s local narrative.
