Educational Q&A
The passage emphasizes that divine powers associated with auspiciousness and victory are not merely possessions of a ruler like Śakra, but higher forces worthy of reverence; true strength is aligned with humility and wholehearted dedication (ātma-samarpaṇa) to the rightful divine order.
Śakra declares that wherever he resides, seven goddesses will also dwell, forming an eightfold group led by the eighth, Jayā (Victory). He affirms their special status—beloved, superior, and fully devoted—indicating their constant presence and precedence in his sphere.
