FAQs

It frames Kṛṣṇa’s carita (sacred life-narrative) as kalmaṣāpaha—purifying and sin-destroying—indicating that hearing/reciting such accounts is itself a spiritually transformative act.

By highlighting kīrtana (devotional narration/recitation) of Kṛṣṇa’s deeds, it points to śravaṇa–kīrtana as a direct bhakti practice that purifies the heart and strengthens devotion to the Jagadīśa.

No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; it functions as a Purāṇic content-marker (anukramaṇikā), emphasizing itihāsa–vaṁśa narration and the efficacy of kīrtana rather than śikṣā/vyākaraṇa/kalpa details.
