Dvaipāyana (Vyāsa)FAQs
True scripture-hearing produces palpable devotional transformation; spiritual authority is marked by inner and outer signs of joy.
No single tīrtha is praised in this verse; it continues the Naimiṣāraṇya frame that introduces Prabhāsa’s greatness.
None; it highlights the devotional response (romāñca/harṣa) arising from hearing sacred speech.
