FAQs
This verse functions as a nāmāvalī (enumeration of divine epithets) intended for japa/recitation; the practical ‘vidyā’ here is devotional discipline through name-recitation (nāma-japa) and contemplation of the deity as sustainer (dhartā), universal Self (viśvātmā), and cosmic form (virāṭ).
By cataloging precise theological titles (e.g., viśvātmā, virāṭ, anādhṛṣya), the Agni Purāṇa preserves a compact doctrinal glossary used across ritual, stotra-literature, and Vedāntic contemplation—showing how the text compiles liturgy, philosophy, and devotional practice in one corpus.
Contemplating and reciting these names frames the deity as both immanent (universal Self) and transcendent (cosmic Virāṭ), cultivating steadiness (dhṛti), fearlessness (anādhṛṣya), and liberation-oriented devotion (abhimukta) as a purificatory practice.
