FAQs
It portrays Vaikuṇṭha (the supreme realm) as inseparably connected with Viṣṇu, poetically locating it upon His chest to emphasize His role as the ultimate support and refuge.
By stating that after a certain time “creation began again,” it reflects the recurring cycles of manifestation (sarga) that proceed after intervals of cosmic time.
The imagery underscores reliance on Viṣṇu as the stable foundation across cosmic change, encouraging devotion grounded in the idea that the divine remains constant even as worlds undergo creation and renewal.
