FAQs
In Purāṇic idiom it can be both. Here it functions primarily as a theological sign: the devas’ inability to perceive Śiva indicates a loss of inner fitness (antardṛṣṭi) caused by aparādha; the narrative may also portray it as literal sensory impairment to dramatize the moral causality.
‘Jaganmūrti’ is an epithet meaning ‘the one whose form is the universe.’ Purāṇas apply it to supreme divinity in a given scene (often Viṣṇu or Śiva). This verse does not specify, but the speaker acts as an authoritative revealer of the devas’ fault, functioning as a cosmic adjudicator.
