FAQs
Yugandhara is referenced as a specific cosmic mountain (often counted among major mountains in Purāṇic cosmography), serving here as the locus where the released “garbha” is placed or manifested.
It suggests a substance or manifestation combining nourishment/purity (milk, payas) with luminous potency (tejas), indicating a sacred, refined origin rather than a mundane physical formation.
It frames the manifested entity as a stabilizing foundation for righteous order—implying that cosmic creation is not value-neutral but oriented toward sustaining dharma.
