FAQs

What is the significance of Devakī and Yaśodā in the Vishnu Purana’s Krishna narrative?

This verse highlights the divine arrangement: Vishnu manifests in Devakī, while the accompanying divine power is directed to Yaśodā’s womb, enabling the protective exchange central to Krishna’s earthly mission.

How does Sage Parāśara explain divine agency in the avatar’s appearance?

Through the narrative voice, Parāśara presents the descent as deliberate and sovereign—Vishnu ‘manifests’ by will, and cosmic powers act promptly to fulfill the plan that safeguards dharma.

What is the theological importance of Lord Vishnu in this context?

Vishnu is shown as the Supreme Lord who freely assumes embodiment while remaining transcendent, directing even divine energies to accomplish protection of devotees and restoration of cosmic order.
