FAQs

Dāna performed on specially consecrated tithis becomes ‘akṣaya’—its merit does not diminish but continues to support the giver spiritually.

The teaching is situated within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya, where acts done in/with remembrance of Prabhāsa are portrayed as especially potent.

It prescribes/commends giving (dāna) on listed tithis—Trayodaśī, Saptamī, and key Pañcadaśī (Pūrṇimā) days—stating that such gifts yield inexhaustible merit.
