FAQs
A scene of cosmic disturbance: blazing rain-like torrents, thunder, lightning, fire, fierce winds, terrifying sounds, and ominous portents, making the sky look as if it is burning.
“Utpāta” refers to ominous portents or abnormal calamities in nature—events interpreted as signs of impending upheaval.
Such descriptions commonly function as warnings about disorder (adharma) and impermanence, urging the listener to seek stability through dharma, restraint, and devotion rather than relying on worldly security.
