FAQs
This verse is genealogical rather than directly metaphysical; it supports the Purāṇic view that cosmic order (grahas, lineages, and time) operates within a divinely sustained dharma-framework, against which teachings on Ātman and Īśvara are later articulated.
No explicit Yoga practice is taught in this specific śloka; it provides cosmological lineage context that, in the Kurma Purāṇa, frames later disciplines (e.g., Pāśupata-oriented restraint, purity, and devotion) as aligned with an ordered universe.
The verse itself lists planetary/lineage names and does not state a Shiva–Vishnu doctrine directly; within the Kurma Purāṇa’s broader synthesis, such cosmological catalogues are presented as part of one sacred order upheld by the same supreme reality revered through both Vaiṣṇava and Śaiva idioms.
