Concept: Creation unfolds inevitably, and a supreme Creator establishes maryādā—cosmic limits and norms—by which transmigrating beings are regulated.

FAQs
Here “maryādā” means an established boundary or ordinance—an ordering principle that regulates life in the created world and keeps saṃsāra functioning according to rule rather than chaos.
It presents creation as a necessary unfolding of cosmic process; within that inevitability, the Creator’s ordinance (maryādā) provides structure and moral-causal regularity for beings living in saṃsāra.
Since a divinely instituted order governs worldly existence, one should live within dharmic limits—recognizing that actions have consequences within the established moral-cosmic framework.
