It maps the lunar realm (Chandra’s sphere) as an ordered domain governed by specific deities and powers, reinforcing the Purāṇic idea that cosmic order (ṛta/dharma) pervades even planetary spheres—knowledge that supports discernment and detachment in Mokṣa-dharma.
While it is primarily cosmological, it frames the universe as a divinely administered system; such vision encourages reverence for the Supreme who governs through these deities, strengthening bhakti by seeing all realms as parts of a sacred order.
It aligns with Jyotiṣa (Vedic astrology/astronomy) by associating the Moon’s sphere with specific deities—useful for understanding traditional cosmological correspondences employed in calendrical and ritual contexts.
