FAQs
It functions as an enumeration of divine powers (often Vedic deities/Ādityas and related gods), presenting them as key cosmic administrators—fortune, craftsmanship, order, sunlight, nourishment, and rain—within a creation-oriented context.
Several names here (Mitra, Varuṇa, Bhaga, Aṃśa, Aryaman, and often Dhātṛ) align with the Ādityas, while others (Indra, Tvaṣṭṛ, Pūṣan, Parjanya) commonly appear alongside them in Vedic-style lists.
By naming deities tied to social and cosmic order (Mitra, Varuṇa), sustenance (Pūṣan, Parjanya), and right distribution of fortune (Bhaga), the verse implicitly points to a world upheld by dharma, nourishment, and regulated power rather than chaos.
