FAQs

Pilgrimage is to be undertaken with niyama (ethical discipline), moving from one sanctifying tīrtha to another in an ordered yātrā.

Sādhyāmṛta Tīrtha is praised as curse-removing, and Sarvatīrtha is introduced as the next प्रमुख tīrtha.

Bathing (snāna) at Sādhyāmṛta Tīrtha and then proceeding to Sarvatīrtha while observing niyamas.
