FAQs
The verse functions like a catalog of place-epithets or micro-toponyms, reflecting how Purāṇic texts preserved ritual geography through named features and devotional-ritual markers.
The verse refers to “tasmin” (“in that place”) without naming the broader site in this fragment; the listed terms appear to be localized names/epithets within a larger tīrtha description earlier in the chapter.
Rather than a direct moral injunction, the verse emphasizes structured ritual time (triṣavaṇa) and ordered sacred space through naming—supporting a cultural ethic of maintaining and recognizing heritage landscapes.
