FAQs
Indu is the Moon (Chandra). The verse states that he would not “give her up” (tām dadau na), implying a refusal to relinquish a woman central to the surrounding narrative context.
‘Vāmadeva’ is an epithet of Śiva. The verse uses it to identify Śiva’s renowned form/name on earth, emphasizing his revered status even as he becomes wrathful in the story.
It highlights that wrongful attachment or refusal to act rightly (the Moon not relinquishing “her”) can provoke cosmic consequences, while also affirming Śiva’s supremacy—his lotus-feet are worshipped even by many Rudras.
