FAQs
The verse emphasizes that fear operates even at cosmic levels—affecting deities like Vāyu and Brahmā—implying that true fearlessness is not achieved by status or power but by Moksha-oriented knowledge and detachment.

No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is doctrinal—understanding the hierarchy of tattvas (elements/deities) and cultivating vairāgya as part of Moksha Dharma rather than ritual mechanics.
