FAQs

Faithful adherence to prescribed observance, performed in the right sacred time (māsa), is portrayed as a powerful vehicle of merit and auspiciousness.

This verse emphasizes the timing (Nabhasya month) and correct performance of the observance within a tīrtha-mahātmya narrative; the site is implied by the surrounding section rather than named here.

Perform the Tṛtīyā observance as taught, particularly when the month of Nabhasya arrives, with supreme devotion.
