Narrator (contextual; specific speaker not indicated in the provided excerpt)
Concept: When inner and outer forces collide without harmony, destruction follows; order requires a unifying center.
Application: Notice when your ‘winds’ (impulses, emotions) clash; return to a centering practice (nāma, breath, prayer) before acting.

FAQs
It describes seven powerful winds (often linked with the Maruts or cosmic wind-forces) acting turbulently, a common Purāṇic motif for upheaval during cosmological events.
Sṛṣṭi-khaṇḍa frequently uses elemental imagery—wind, thunder, lightning—to portray cosmic transformation and the dynamic forces that accompany creation or dissolution-like disturbances.
The mutual collision of forces can be read as a reminder that unchecked power and agitation generate conflict; steadiness and harmony are implied virtues amid turbulent conditions.
