FAQs
Tāraka is a named adversarial figure (a demon/Asura in many Purāṇic narratives) whose continued existence is being negated by a foretold divine plan.
It states that after a destined attainment and subsequent begetting of a particular being, Tāraka will no longer remain, and that the speaker has already explained the method by which this outcome will occur.
The verse underscores purposive action guided by dharmic strategy: even formidable obstacles are resolved through an appropriate ‘abhyupāya’ (right means) aligned with a larger cosmic order.
