FAQs
It classifies yogic attainments (siddhis) by naming both well-known powers (aṇimā, laghimā, mahimā, garimā) and additional technical categories (bījā, śakty-utthāpanā; sthūla–sūkṣma–parā), indicating that such powers are recognized but treated as enumerated attainments within disciplined practice rather than the final goal.
Indirectly: by listing siddhis as “named powers,” the text implies they are secondary accomplishments; in a bhakti-oriented Purana, such attainments are not the highest pursuit compared to devotion to the Lord and liberation.
A technical, classificatory approach typical of śāstric instruction: precise naming and categorization of subtle states/powers (sthūla–sūkṣma–parā) aligns with the Narada Purana’s Third Pada emphasis on structured Vedic sciences and disciplined yogic methodology.
