FAQs

A devotee’s inner saṅkalpa matters—boons are sought not for display but for the heartfelt purpose aligned with dharma.

The request occurs within the Sarasvatī-tīra episode of the Nāgara Khaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya.

Boon-seeking is framed as the culmination of worship; the verse emphasizes sincere petition (yācñā) rooted in saṅkalpa.
