FAQs
This verse presents Puṣkara as a governed region within Jambūdvīpa, showing how cosmic geography is paired with delegated sovereignty—Savana is installed to uphold order there.
Through Āgnīdhra’s appointments and lineage: authority is structured by assigning rulers to regions, and by producing heirs described as prajāpati-like—fit to sustain creation’s social and territorial order.
Even when Vishnu is not named in the verse, the Purāṇic framework treats such orderly rulership and lineage as expressions of dharma within Vishnu’s cosmic sovereignty—worldly administration reflecting divine order.
