FAQs
Time (kāla) is sacralized: each tithi is linked with a cosmic functionary/deity, encouraging disciplined observance and reverence for diverse divine powers that uphold order (dharma), prosperity, and auspiciousness.
This is ancillary ritual/dharma material rather than one of the five primary marks; it aligns most closely with dharma-oriented instruction often embedded alongside (or within) vaṃśānucarita-era teaching sections, but it is not a direct sarga/pratisarga/vamśa list.
The mapping honors multiple divine roles: creation/craft (Viśvakarman), śakti and fertility/auspicious power (Girijā), obstacle-removal (Vināyaka), and moral retribution/order (Yama), presenting a harmonized pantheon within a single ritual calendar.
