FAQs

It functions as an anukramaṇikā (topic-index) verse, showing the Purāṇa’s integrated path: righteous householder practice, disciplined understanding of time (kāla), edifying royal narrative (Divodāsa), and sacred geography (Kāśikā).

By sequencing dharma, time-discipline, and tīrtha-māhātmya, it implies that devotion is lived through regulated household duties, auspicious timing of worship, and reverence for holy narratives and sacred places like Kāśī.

Kāla-jñāna points to practical calendrical/astral computation used for rites—choosing proper tithi, nakṣatra, and muhūrta—aligned with the Vedāṅga concern for correct ritual timing.
