FAQs

This verse shows that Sudarśana, the Lord’s invincible weapon, relentlessly guards the devotee—Durvāsā could not escape it anywhere in the universe.

After offending Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, Durvāsā was pursued by Sudarśana and tried to flee through various realms, but the Lord’s protection of His devotee made escape impossible.

Avoid offending sincere devotees, and take shelter of the Lord through steady bhakti—divine protection and accountability are both real themes emphasized here.
