FAQs

When dhārmic counsel is received and accepted with joy, the narrative marks completion—signaling that right instruction leads to right action.

This is a transition verse concluding the chapter’s tīrtha instructions; it does not newly name the site.

None directly; it narrates the departure after the ritual calendar and worship guidance has been delivered.
