FAQs

Sacred geography is encoded in memory and naming—regions become dharmic markers through lineage and righteous rule.

The nine varṣas (regions) of Jambūdvīpa are referenced collectively; no single pilgrimage site is detailed.

None; it is a statement about regional divisions and their enduring names.
