FAQs
By stating that the act was for the good of “the three worlds” and “of himself,” the verse points to loka-saṅgraha and self-welfare as ultimately non-separate—suggesting a dharmic vision where personal good aligns with cosmic order, reflecting the Purana’s integrative (non-contradictory) view of self and world.
