Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context likely a laudatory address to Maheśvara/Śiva).
Concept: Stainless yoga (vimala-yoga) yields invincibility; divine power protects cosmic order by destroying adharma (Andhaka’s kin/forces).
Application: Cultivate ‘vimala-yoga’—ethical purity, disciplined mind, and steady practice—so that inner ‘Andhakas’ (blindness, obsession) are shattered; then offer credit upward rather than to ego.

FAQs
Maheśvara (Śiva) is praised because he is described as unconquerable and as the one who shattered the assembled allies/kinsmen of the asura Andhaka.
It suggests purity and mastery of yogic power—an untainted, luminous spiritual discipline that underlies the deity’s invincibility and divine efficacy.
The verse presents divine protection and victory over destructive forces as grounds for stuti (praise), reinforcing devotion through remembrance of the deity’s safeguarding power.
