Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse uses the full compass—cardinal and intermediate directions—to express that the Lord’s presence is not localized; cosmic space itself is pervaded and governed by Vishnu.
By stating that at sunrise, sunset, and at all times the Lord is ‘before’ one in every direction, Parāśara frames omnipresence as a lived orientation: wherever one turns, the Supreme is encountered as the sustaining reality.
Vishnu is presented as the Supreme Reality who pervades time and space—supporting a Vaishnava view in which the world’s order and every direction’s sanctity rest upon His all-encompassing sovereignty.
