Austerity can yield results, but divine governance remains: the Lord protects the worlds by removing destructive forces, and this works through the unity of divine powers.
The teaching occurs within the Prabhāsa Kṣetra Māhātmya section.
No direct prescription; the verse discusses tapas (austerity) and the granting of boons.
