FAQs
“Danu’s sons” generally refers to the Dānavas—an asura/daitya lineage descended from Danu—often appearing in Purāṇic genealogies and cosmic conflicts.
Saiṁhikeyas are typically understood as descendants of Siṁhikā; in many Purāṇic contexts they are grouped among asuric or rāhu-related lineages.
It highlights the principle that a “dharmātmā” (righteous authority) protects those under his charge—suggesting that protection is an expression of dharma, not merely power.
