FAQs
Hostility toward dharmic order is depicted as collective and contagious—‘te sarve’—while Vīrabhadra embodies the principle that divine wrath (raudra) is not mere anger but protective force deployed to re-stabilize cosmic balance.
This aligns with Manvantara/Anucarita-style narrative episodes (accounts within cosmic eras) rather than pure genealogy—an event-scene illustrating conflict between dharma-aligned divine forces and anti-deva groups.
Vīrabhadra stands for the ‘kriyā-śakti’ of Śiva—decisive action when limits are crossed. The Daityas’ massed charge symbolizes adharma’s tendency to confront restraint and order with force.
