FAQs
It highlights Viṣṇu as the ultimate giver of grace and continuity—both spiritual and dynastic—showing that bhakti can restore order and hope even in personal and royal crisis.

Viṣṇu appears as the supreme sovereign and refuge: when worldly supports (like a husband/king) fall away, devotion to Viṣṇu remains efficacious and spiritually central.
