Educational Q&A
When moral order becomes unstable in times of yuga-transition, a divine power acts to re-establish dharma, motivated by the welfare of living beings, even by taking embodied forms suited to the situation.
Vāyudeva speaks in the first person, declaring an ongoing cosmic role: at recurring moments of upheaval across ages, he ‘fastens’ the support/bridge of dharma by entering different births and forms for the good of creatures.
