FAQs
Vāruṇī Devī is a divine maiden who appears during the churning of the Milk Ocean, associated with vāruṇī (intoxicating drink), and in this verse she is accepted by the asuras with Lord Hari’s consent.
Because Lord Hari allowed it—indicating divine supervision over the distribution of the ocean’s products—while the asuras, inclined toward sense-enjoyment, took what matched their nature.
It highlights that desires shape choices: those drawn to indulgence gravitate toward intoxicating pleasures, while spiritual progress comes from choosing what elevates consciousness under divine guidance.
