FAQs
Jambūdvīpa is the main terrestrial continent in Purāṇic cosmology—often used to denote the human world where kingship and dharma are enacted.
In Purāṇic karma theory, heavenly life is typically a temporary result of accumulated merit; when that merit is exhausted, the being returns to earthly existence.
It suggests that honour and status—whether celestial praise or earthly sovereignty—are outcomes of karma and are impermanent, encouraging dharmic conduct rather than attachment to rank.
