सहस्रांशो स्वेदजोयं स्वकीयोंऽशो धरातले । द्वापरांतेवतार्योयं देवानां कार्यसिद्धये
sahasrāṃśo svedajoyaṃ svakīyoṃ'śo dharātale | dvāparāṃtevatāryoyaṃ devānāṃ kāryasiddhaye
Inilah Surya yang bersinar seribu sinar; lahir daripada peluh, ia merupakan bahagian-Nya sendiri di bumi. Pada penghujung Yuga Dvāpara, ia akan menjelma sebagai avatāra demi menyempurnakan tujuan para dewa.
Unspecified (verse excerpt; broader dialogue context not provided in the input)
Concept: Cosmic order is maintained through timely divine manifestations that serve the welfare of devas and the restoration of dharma.
Application: Read life’s transitions as calls to align with dharma; when a ‘Dvāpara-end’ moment arrives (crisis/threshold), act as an instrument for restoring balance rather than personal gain.

FAQs
“Sahasrāṃśa” is a common epithet of Sūrya (the Sun), describing him as the “thousand-rayed” deity.
It links a manifestation “at the end of the Dvāpara age” with “devas’ purpose,” implying that divine descents are coordinated with cosmic time-cycles to restore or accomplish a heavenly objective.
Purāṇas often classify births by modes (e.g., sweat-born, egg-born). Here it functions as a mythic descriptor of origin, not a medical claim—signaling a particular cosmological category and narrative lineage.
