FAQs

Pilgrimage becomes complete when outer purity (bathing), sacred vision (darśana), and inner sound-practice (recitation) unite toward mokṣa.

The verse praises “that tirtha” in the preceding context of Adhyāya 129, associated with Brahmadvāra and Sun-darśana.

Snāna (bathing) at the tirtha, divākara-darśana (beholding the Sun), and recitation (paṭhana) of the Nādabindu.
