Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

By listing many classes of gods and beings, the verse emphasizes that dharma is cosmic in scope: actions and vows are witnessed and upheld by a vast moral universe, not only by human society.

What is happening in the narrative?

Narada is enumerating divine and semi-divine orders—Maruts, Vasus, Sādhyas, Viśvedevas, Indra, Yakṣas, Nāgas, Piśācas, Lokapālas, and Agni—framing the discussion with the sense that powerful cosmic beings are present as observers or participants in the matter at hand.
