FAQs
It preserves a traditional Vedāṅga-style mapping where specific named designations (used in ritual/astrological reckoning) are linked to particular divine forms, showing how time-classifications are sacralized through deity-identification.
Bhakti here is expressed through correct remembrance and invocation of the appropriate divine form tied to a given designation; devotion becomes structured by traditional correspondences rather than being purely abstract.
Jyotiṣa-oriented nomenclature: the verse functions like a technical list assigning deity-forms/associations to specific named periods or markers (useful for ritual timing and prescribed observances).
