Telugu-Vigananam keeps its printed spellings, hyphens, and variant readings; the English follows the base Sanskrit unless a note explains a difference.

04 / DETAILED MEANINGShownHidden
How the verse unfolds.
The paired forms at svādhiṣṭhāna are introduced through fire and the names Saṃvarta and Samayā. The subsequent action distinguishes their roles within the scene rather than dissolving them into a single image.
His gaze burns the worlds in anger; hers, moist with compassion, provides cooling care. The contrast gives compassion an active response to devastation. It describes the relation of these divine forms and is not a model requiring anyone to endure harm.
