FAQs

Divine instruction and right orientation elevate even a ‘successful’ practitioner to the highest, lasting spiritual fulfillment.

The broader chapter is tīrtha-centered, but this verse functions as narrative transition rather than naming the location.

No new ritual is prescribed here; it summarizes instruction (upadeśa) and marks a narrative conclusion/transition.
