JagannāthaFAQs
Pleasing the Lord through sincere devotion culminates in sadgati—an auspicious, spiritually elevated end.
The statement functions as a merit-result within the Dārutīrtha narrative of the Revā Khaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual is stated; the emphasis is on toṣa (divine satisfaction) through devotion.
