नारद म्हणाले—हे श्रेष्ठ वीर! आता तुझ्याकडे निश्चयच परिपूर्ण समृद्धी आहे. तू त्रैलोक्याचा स्वामी आहेस; मग या बाबतीत आश्चर्य किंवा अशक्य ते काय?

FAQs
The verse highlights that when one is empowered by divine favor and right order (dharma upheld under Pati’s will), worldly obstacles lose their power; what seems “impossible” becomes possible through grace and rightful authority.
In Shaiva understanding, sovereignty and success are not merely personal achievements but reflections of Saguna Shiva’s governance of the cosmos; Linga-worship centers the devotee in that divine source from which order, protection, and victory arise.
A practical takeaway is steady Shiva-bhakti—daily japa of the Panchakshara mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with mental surrender—so that one’s actions align with Shiva’s will and obstacles are dissolved.
