FAQs
This verse anchors Purāṇic cosmology and lineage by identifying key celestial consorts—Rohiṇī (linked to Chandra) and Saṃjñā (linked to Sūrya)—as part of a broader listing of divine origins.
Vishnu addresses Garuda directly as “Vinatā-suta,” indicating an instructional narrative where Garuda receives structured knowledge—here, a genealogical/cosmological enumeration.
Use it as a reference for accurate recitation and study of Purāṇic lineages—especially when performing or learning traditional rites that invoke Sūrya, Chandra, or sacred river principles (like Gaṅgā) with correct names and relationships.
