FAQs

Even powerful beings are constrained by relational bonds and cosmic obligations; dharma operates through ties of duty and allegiance.

No single tirtha is directly praised; the verse serves as narrative context within the Revā Khaṇḍa’s pilgrimage framework.

None; it is a narrative-theological statement about bonds and non-release.
