FAQs
It identifies a set of named authoritative tantras/śāstras, indicating the recognized textual sources for ritual procedure and doctrinal systematization.
By cataloging multiple specialized works and lineages (e.g., Pauṣkara, Nāradiya, Śāṇḍilya), the text functions as an index of knowledge-systems rather than a single-topic scripture.
Acknowledging and following established authoritative traditions is presented as a means to ensure correct ritual performance (vidhi), which in Purāṇic thought supports purity, merit (puṇya), and efficacy of worship.
