FAQs
Viṣṇudūtas are the divine emissaries or attendants of Lord Viṣṇu, depicted in Purāṇic literature as protectors of devotees and upholders of dharma, often intervening when injustice or wrongful seizure occurs.
A golden vimāna symbolizes divine authority, purity, and auspicious passage—often indicating that the person being protected or escorted is granted a higher, sanctified destination under divine sanction.
The verse implies that coercion driven by anger is checked by higher moral order: divine forces intervene to protect the righteous (or those under divine claim) and to affirm that power without dharma is ultimately restrained.
