FAQs
It reassures the Maruts to abandon fear and return to peace, declaring that the demonic Dānavas have been defeated and that stability across the three worlds should now be firmly established.
The Maruts are storm-deities often depicted as a collective host allied with the devas. They are addressed as divine forces responsible for maintaining order after a cosmic conflict.
After conflict, the aim is not continued aggression but restoration—reassuring allies, removing fear, and responsibly governing to re-establish peace and dharmic order.
