Literature thrives more on fiction than facts.. Even the best of writers stress more on the immediate effect of the words.. There is an alankaram called Apahnuti in Sanskrit.. The real facts are substituted by imaginery symbols.. One of the definitions for pure apahnuti.. नायं सुधांशु किं तर्हि व्योमगंगा सरोरुहं.. a poet says looking at the moon.. " this is not the moon, but it is a lotus blooming in the celestial Ganga river." This in no way means the moon has become a lotus flower.(Appayya Deekshita has cited this in Kuvalayanandam).
It is only poetic licence..
. In absolute terms, we cannot attribute luck and lack of it to either Vishnu or Shiva.. As Kalidasasa said.. AkinchanaH san prabhavaH sa sampadaam... Lord Shiva stands like a destitute but He is the source of all the wealth of the universe..
But this sloka has to be viewed from the homily statement.. often luck is more decisive in life than our other qualities.. Many rulers politicians and ministers never deserved to be in those positions but for their luck.. And we, who suffer them are really unlucky..
