FAQs
Aṅgāraka is the Graha (planetary deity) identified with Mars; the verse predicts the attainment of this name and status.
‘Dharātmaja’ indicates birth or origin from Dharā/Pr̥thivī (Earth), a common Purāṇic way to frame a deity’s or being’s lineage and cosmic function.
It suggests that, besides an earthly or initial manifestation, the being is also established in a divine/heavenly realm (Devaloka) with another recognized form or presence.
