FAQs

Divine presence is not bound to permanence of form; the Goddess reveals, instructs, and withdraws, leaving behind dharma and a worship-path.

The verse remains within Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya’s account tied to Kelīśvarī Devī’s local manifestation.

None directly; it narrates the conclusion of the Goddess’s instruction and her līlā-like disappearance.
