FAQs
Spiritual power (brahmatejas) demands respect; patience (kṣānti) and tapas transform suffering into purification and restoration.
Not a specific tīrtha; the Revā-khaṇḍa setting supports a Śaiva-dharmic teaching about sages and austerity.
Tapas (austerity) coupled with kṣānti (forbearance) is recommended as the corrective discipline.
