Devabhāryās (wives of the gods)FAQs
Purāṇic dharma stresses the sanctity of harmony in sacred rites; violation brings social and domestic suffering as a moral consequence.
The teaching is narrated within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya, whose wider purpose is to magnify Prabhāsa as a purifying sacred landscape.
No direct prescription; the verse states the fruit of a curse (loss of apatyasukha—joy of progeny).
