The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
रोषायासकरं चैव सर्वलोकनमस्कृतः ॥ अहं त्वं चैव देवेश इमं लोकं चराचरम् ॥
roṣāyāsakaraṃ caiva sarvalokanamaskṛtaḥ || ahaṃ tvaṃ caiva deveśa imaṃ lokaṃ carācaram ||
அவன் கோபமும் முயற்சியும் உண்டாக்குபவனாயினும், எல்லா உலகங்களாலும் வணங்கப்படுபவன். தேவேசா! நானும் நீயும் இந்தச் சராசர உலகை ஆள்கிறோம்.

FAQs
It reflects a common Purāṇic idiom—carācaram—to describe totality of existence, and situates authority as shared or negotiated between high cosmic agents.
No specific location is named; the referent is cosmic in scope (“this world of moving and unmoving”).
Implicitly, it frames responsibility and authority as tied to universal order, suggesting that governance is not arbitrary but related to the totality of beings.
