FAQs
This verse presents the cosmos as an ordered administration of time: the Sun’s monthly movement is accompanied by specific beings, showing regulated cosmic governance rather than randomness.
Parāśara describes fixed assignments—names of deities, sages, and celestial beings—who ‘attend’ the Sun in particular months, mapping time (kāla) into a structured sacred calendar.
Even when Vishnu is not named in the verse, the Purāṇic framework treats such cosmic regularity as proceeding from the Supreme Reality—Vishnu—whose sovereignty sustains the lawful rhythm of the universe.
