FAQs
“Yajñabhujām” refers to those who partake of sacrificial offerings—typically the Devas (gods) who receive oblations through yajña.
The verse alludes to a Dānava/Danuja who once seized a group of celestial vimānas (aerial vehicles) and was subsequently brought down—made “equal to the earth,” implying downfall and confinement/punishment.
Even if one gains extraordinary power (such as taking celestial resources), wrongful seizure and hubris lead to reversal—downfall from heavenly status to a lower, constrained condition.
