FAQs
Purāṇic authority is tied to dharmic merit: the ‘hundred sacrifices’ motif links sovereignty to sustained ritual order and responsibility, not mere power.
Manvantara: it enumerates the Indra of a given manvantara and his defining mark.
Indra as ‘yajña-bhāga-bhuk’ reflects the principle that offerings sustain cosmic reciprocity; ‘Manojava’ suggests the subtle speed of divine governance—mind-like immediacy.
