Educational Q&A
Even the highest cosmic progenitors (Prajāpatis) are portrayed as originating from the Supreme and as bound to uphold His sanātanī maryādā—an eternal dharmic order. Authority and power are legitimate only when aligned with dharma.
Nārada enumerates a traditional list of twenty-one Prajāpatis and states that they arise from the Supreme Deity and continually honour and maintain the eternal dharma-boundary that sustains the world.
