FAQs

Righteous victory and divine purpose are affirmed by the gods themselves; dharma is celebrated, not merely achieved.

No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it is a narrative moment within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa’s Skanda-centered account.

None directly—this verse describes stuti (praise), nṛtya (dance), and vādyaghoṣa (instrumental music) as celebratory acts.
