FAQs

Dharma is upheld through coordinated divine effort; even gods accept humble forms to serve a righteous purpose.

Not directly; the verse is part of Kedārakhaṇḍa’s narrative flow rather than a tīrtha-phalāśruti.

None; it is a strategic command (ājñā) about taking forms to accomplish a cosmic task.
