FAQs
Yes. The verse functions as a catalog-like enumeration of named figures and epithets (including Kapardī and Mahāviśveśvara), typical of Purāṇic passages that list manifestations, attendants, or revered names.
Kapardī is a well-known epithet of Śiva (“the matted-haired one”), and Mahāviśveśvara commonly denotes the “Great Lord of the Universe,” also widely used for Śiva. The immediate context would confirm whether the passage is explicitly Śaiva or part of a broader encyclopedic list.
The verse emphasizes Purāṇic tradition as an encyclopedic record of sacred names and cosmic personifications, situating creation-era narratives alongside revered divine titles used in ritual and devotion.
