FAQs

Purification is consummated by honoring Agni and supporting learned brāhmaṇas through charity and feeding—dharma is completed by giving.

No specific tīrtha is named; the verse gives a general completion-rite within the tīrtha-mahātmya context.

Perform Agni-satisfaction, offer pūrṇāhuti with the Pañcavaktra mantra, then give dakṣiṇā and भोजन (feeding) to brāhmaṇas according to capacity.
