FAQs

Maya is described as a Daitya/Dānava king, the lord of Tripura, famed as the foremost teacher of those who wield māyā (illusion), residing in Talātala under Lord Śiva’s protection.

It indicates that by Lord Śiva’s special protection and favor, Maya lives in Talātala without fear of Viṣṇu’s Sudarśana disc, emphasizing the power of divine shelter granted by Mahādeva.

The verse highlights that protection and honor come from higher shelter and grace; it encourages seekers to take refuge in the Lord (and the Lord’s devotees) rather than relying on one’s own “māyā” or worldly power.
