FAQs
It frames Mohinī’s presence as purposeful and divinely sourced (“born of Brahmā”), indicating that extraordinary encounters in Purāṇic narrative often function as tests or turning-points meant to guide the king toward right discernment (viveka) and dharma.
By presenting an attractive, potentially deluding figure (Mohinī) as part of a higher design, the verse implicitly urges devotion grounded in clarity—bhakti that remains steady even when confronted by māyā, choosing dharma and remembrance of the Divine over fascination with appearances.
