FAQs

Even the supreme sustainer honors the supreme principle—true greatness includes reverence for the highest Reality.

Kāśī is implied as the sacred ‘here’ where the hierarchy of worship reveals Śiva’s special eminence in the Kṣetra.

No explicit rite; the verse initiates a doctrinal inquiry that leads to praise of Śiva/Mṛtyuñjaya worship.
