FAQs

True dharma-knowledge arises from contemplative presence in a sanctified space where the cosmos is intuitively comprehended.

Dharmāraṇya is implied as the place where the reality of the three worlds can be understood, making one a dharmavit.

The verse implies upaveśana (reverent sitting/attendance) and contemplative listening/knowing, rather than a formal rite.
