FAQs

Dharma includes capacity-based duty: the one who is fit (adhikārī) must bear the task for the welfare of the worlds.

No specific tīrtha is praised in this verse; it supports the wider Revā Khaṇḍa sacred narrative frame.

None as a rite; it is a divine instruction about bearing tejas for a cosmic mission.
