FAQs
The verse highlights the supremacy of the Jagannātha (Vishnu) principle: even powerful delusion (Mohinī/Māyā) can become ineffective before the Lord who governs all beings and all dharma.
By addressing the Lord as the universal master and guru, the verse implies that surrender and devotion to Vishnu transcends deceptive forces; Bhakti is presented as a refuge where Māyā fails to produce its intended result.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this line; the main takeaway is doctrinal—recognizing Māyā (delusion) as contingent and ultimately subordinate to the Lord who upholds cosmic order (dharma).
