Translation

‘رونی’ نام کو تھام کر وہ مناسب مقام پر عروج کرتی ہے؛ اسی لیے وہ ‘روہنی’ کے نام سے مشہور ہے۔ اے خگندر، اسے ‘آدتیہ کی بھاریا’ کہا جاتا ہے؛ وہ نارائن کے سوروپ کی تجلی ہے۔

FAQs

This verse presents Rohiṇī as one who “ascends to the proper station” and identifies her as a divine designation connected with Āditya, ultimately described as a manifestation (svarūpa) of Nārāyaṇa.

By stating that the named figure (Rohiṇī/Āditya-bhāryā) is “Nārāyaṇa’s svarūpa,” the verse frames the deity or divine principle as appearing through specific names and roles while remaining rooted in Nārāyaṇa.

It encourages seeing sacred names and roles as pointers to a deeper divine reality—cultivating reverence, clarity in worship, and a theistic understanding that multiple forms can express one supreme principle.
