Educational Q&A
Even in a martial context, one should uphold dharma through reverence for sacred places and inner purification; ritual respect functions as ethical re-centering before action.
After spending the night at a location, Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) honors a renowned tīrtha and touches its water as an act of reverence/purification, then continues his journey.
