Beauty and dignity in beings are treated as sacred manifestations; the verse invites reverence toward life by recognizing splendor (kānti) as Devī’s presence.
A stuti segment within the Purāṇa’s narrative; it supports dharma indirectly by sacralizing virtues rather than detailing genealogies or manvantaras.
Kānti aligns with tejas—inner luminosity; esoterically it indicates the awakening of sattva and the refinement of perception where the divine shines through all forms.
