FAQs
Brahmā frames the Dānavas’ hostility as a deliberate attempt to incite Viṣṇu’s anger, highlighting that their strategy is provocation rather than righteous grievance—an emphasis on maintaining cosmic order through restraint and discernment.
Danusutāḥ refers to the Dānavas, a class of powerful beings descended from Danu, often portrayed as adversaries of the devas and as disturbers of dharma in Purāṇic cosmology.
The verse implies that anger can be engineered by opponents; therefore, the higher response is awareness and self-mastery—responding to provocation with clarity rather than reactive wrath.
