FAQs
The term generally points to divine beings (devas) who receive sacrificial offerings through the yajña system, functioning as cosmic administrators within dharma and ṛta (order).
It highlights that these divine beings remain established in their own ordained glory/power, acting continuously according to their cosmic role rather than temporarily or randomly.
It frames yajña and cosmic duty as interconnected: rightful recipients uphold world-order, implying that disciplined, dharmic action (including worship and offering) supports harmony and protection of the world.
