FAQs
It indicates that a revered figure (called “the Blessed Lord”) has instructed certain rites and spoken about returning/coming again, while referencing someone who previously came to an assembly to see the speaker.
The explicit emphasis here is on kriyā—prescribed actions/rites—though the broader bhakti or theological framing depends on the surrounding verses.
From this verse alone, the speaker cannot be identified with certainty; the surrounding passage (preceding/following shlokas) is needed to determine the dialogue frame and speaker.
