FAQs

After receiving grace, divine offices are fulfilled through stable dharmic placement, and sacred space is marked through consecrated establishments.

It gestures to multiple named establishments connected to Lokapālas within the Revā Khaṇḍa landscape, but does not name a single tīrtha in this verse.

Implied is sthāpanā—establishing a seat/shrine (a foundational act for later pūjā), though no procedural steps are detailed here.
