The purpose of these stories was to teach and pass along truths. That's what the puranas are. If there is a deeper meaning you know of, I'm happy to entertain it and maybe learn something. However, I find it hard to believe that the typical village Hindu of 500 BCE would ask the village brahmins or guru to analyze the story.
