Detailed Meaning

The term 'aneka' (many/infinite) signifies that the divine form encompasses all possible mouths, eyes, and forms in existence. The 'uplifted weapons' symbolize the Divine's eternal readiness to uphold Dharma (cosmic order), while the 'celestial ornaments' represent the inherent glory and beauty of the cosmos. This vision transcends the three-dimensional limitations of human perception.
