FAQs
When dharmic acts are anchored in a potent sacred place, their fruits are described as akṣaya (undiminishing).
The context continues the praise of Dharmakūpa (and the Dharmāraṇya sacred complex).
Dāna (giving) and japa (recitation) are recommended as producing akṣaya results; Atharvavedic ritual applications are noted as attaining siddhi.
