FAQs
In this verse, the Śiśumāra represents a cosmic configuration of the heavens whose stability depends on higher principles—ultimately grounded in Vishnu as the supreme support.
Parāśara presents Dhruva as the stabilizing pivot (polar axis) upon which celestial placements are ‘established,’ showing the universe as an ordered system rather than randomness.
