FAQs
It assigns specific cosmic regions (symbolized as the lower lotus leaves) as allotted abodes for Daityas, Asuras, and Nāgas, reflecting a structured, hierarchical universe.
Daityas and Asuras are powerful non-deva lineages often associated with subterranean or lower realms, while Pannagas (Nāgas) are serpent-beings traditionally connected with the underworld regions.
It suggests an ordered distribution of spaces and roles in creation—each class of beings receives an allotted domain, implying cosmic governance rather than randomness.
