यया रुक्मांगदो जातो मल्लिपेमर्ज्जनाय वै । नेदं व्यवस्थितं देव क्षितौ केनापि भूभुजा ॥ १५ ॥

यया रुक्माङ्गदो जातो मल्लिपे-मलमार्ज्जनाय वै; हे देव! एतादृशं व्यवस्थानं क्षितौ केनापि भूभुजा न कृतम्॥

It emphasizes daiva-vidhāna—events like the birth of a righteous figure are portrayed as divinely purposed for purification and restoration of dharma, beyond merely human political planning.
By presenting purification as divinely guided, the verse supports a bhakti-oriented outlook: surrender to the Lord’s higher arrangement and trust that dharmic outcomes unfold through divine will rather than human control alone.
No direct Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) instruction appears; the practical takeaway is the Purāṇic dharma principle that purification (śuddhi/marjana) is a key aim of sacred narratives and tirtha-oriented practice.
