Translation
The Vihaṅgamas, Kāmagamas, Nirvāṇarucis and others will be the devatās. Indra will be Vaidhṛta, and the seven sages will be headed by Aruṇa.
Vihaṅgamas, Kāmagamas, Nirvāṇarucis among demigods; Vaidhṛta as Indra; Aruṇa heading the sages. Even the names of future eras' staff are known. The Lord's plan is detailed; nothing in it is improvisational.
Reflection Questions
  • Do I trust that what looks improvisational in my own life is actually part of a detailed plan?
  • What 'name' for my current role would help me hold it more clearly?
