FAQs

Certain liberating recitations are to be guarded and practiced inwardly; restraint and purity of transmission are part of dharma.

The instruction occurs within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya.

The ‘second’ recitation is not for public chanting; it is to be performed as private japa by a seeker of liberation.
