FAQs

What is the significance of Vishnu’s ‘glance’ in the Vishnu Purana?

It signifies absolute divine sovereignty—Vishnu maintains and restores cosmic order effortlessly, with mere will and awareness rather than struggle.

How does Sage Parasara present the defeat of the Daityas in this context?

As an inevitable consequence of Vishnu’s supremacy: once Vishnu’s presence is asserted, the Daityas’ downfall is certain and total, underscoring dharma’s ultimate victory.

What is the theological importance of Lord Vishnu here?

Vishnu is portrayed as the Supreme Reality whose mere intention governs creation and dissolution; adharma cannot endure before His transcendent power.
