FAQs

Even intense emotions like righteous indignation are portrayed as forces that, when aligned to dharma, can lead to protection of cosmic order.

Prabhāsakṣetra remains the māhātmya setting; the verse introduces a backstory connected to that sacred geography.

None; Devī states she has ‘heard/known’ the account through samādhi (meditative insight).
