Educational Q&A
The passage highlights that supreme power (Śiva with his fearsome attendants) is not merely terrifying but also ordered and beneficent when aligned with dharmic space—here, the assembly where divine presence confers protection, legitimacy, and prosperity (through association with Kubera).
Nārada describes Śiva and Pārvatī entering the assembly, accompanied by vast hosts of bhūtas and pretas, and taking their seat near Kubera, Śiva’s friend and the giver of wealth—depicting the gathering of major divine figures in the sabhā.
