आदित्यवसुरुद्राद्या देवाश् चात्र महामुने पुरंदरस् तथैवात्र मैत्रेय त्रिदशेश्वरः
ādityavasurudrādyā devāś cātra mahāmune puraṃdaras tathaivātra maitreya tridaśeśvaraḥ
Hỡi đại hiền giả, tại đây có các thần: Āditya, Vasu, Rudra và những vị khác; và cũng tại đây, hỡi Maitreya, Purandara là chúa tể của chư thiên.
Sage Parāśara
They represent major classes of gods who function as cosmic administrators within a Manvantara, indicating how the universe is governed through ordered divine groupings.
Parāśara identifies Purandara (Indra) as the tridaśeśvara—chief of the gods—showing that specific cosmic offices (like Indra-ship) are defined within a given Manvantara.
Even when the verse names other deities and Indra’s sovereignty, the Vishnu Purana frames such ranks as part of the larger cosmic order ultimately sustained and governed by Vishnu as Supreme Reality.
