This verse functions as an anukramanika (table-of-contents) marker, indicating key episodes that illustrate how pride and hostility (as in Andhaka’s conflict) are ultimately brought under divine order, culminating in reintegration (gaṇatva) and the unfolding of cosmic lineages (Maruts).
Indirectly: by pointing to narratives centered on Īśvara (Śiva) and divine governance, it frames devotion as aligning oneself with the divine will—where even adversarial forces can be transformed and included within the sacred retinue (gaṇas).
The verse signals puranic anukramanika-style organization—useful for traditional study methods (pāṭha-krama and indexing). It is not a direct Vedanga teaching (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa), but it supports systematic textual navigation and recall.
