वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse elevates the divine ideal of womanhood in the form of Umā/Pārvatī—named Māheśvarī and Mahādevī—placing her as the highest among women, while also acknowledging that worldly desire tends to pursue ornamented apsarases; it implicitly contrasts sacred excellence with sensual attraction.
Vāyudeva is speaking in praise and classification of feminine figures: he identifies Pārvatī/Umā by her epithets and declares her supreme among women, then notes that among pleasure-seeking contexts, richly adorned apsarases are regarded as foremost.
