FAQs
When worldly power becomes overwhelming, refuge in Śiva through timely worship (Pradoṣa) is taught as the dharmic remedy.
Kedārakhaṇḍa frames the instruction; the emphasis is on the sacred time of Pradoṣa rather than a single named tirtha in this verse.
Perform Śiva (Śambhu) worship specifically at Pradoṣa, following the prescribed vidhi (ritual procedure).
