It underscores cosmic order (ṛta): after dissolution, creation is re-manifested in an orderly way, with all beings—mobile and immobile—re-established according to their prior arrangement, highlighting the intelligible, law-governed nature of the universe.
By portraying creation as a deliberate re-ordering under divine governance, the verse supports a bhakti worldview: the devotee trusts that the cosmos is sustained by a higher intelligence, encouraging surrender and steadiness in devotion amid cycles of change.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the key takeaway is the Purāṇic cosmological principle of periodic re-manifestation (sṛṣṭi) and re-establishment (vyavasthā) of beings, which frames ritual and dharma within a stable cosmic order.
