FAQs

Ritual order is cosmic in scope; sacred institutions like the sacrificial fires are portrayed as enduring supports of dharma.

The Revā/Narmadā milieu underlies the narrative, presenting the river-goddesses as sources of sacred ritual powers.

It references adhvara (yajña) and the Dhiṣṇya fires—ritual fires recognized in sacrificial performance.
