FAQs
Here it functions as a narrative power—Citralekhā uses yogavidyā-bala to move Aniruddha, showing siddhi as a disciplined capability within the cosmic order rather than mere magic.
Parāśara presents it matter-of-factly as the effect of yogic power, integrating extraordinary events into the Purāṇic world where yogic discipline can alter ordinary constraints like distance.
Because Aniruddha belongs to the Vishnu-Krishna lineage, the episode implicitly affirms Vishnu’s sovereign presence in history—divine order unfolds through his descendants and their destined encounters.
