ViṣṇuFAQs
The divine is all-pervading and intrinsically pure; apparent defects do not stain Lakṣmī or Viṣṇu’s universal presence.
This is a theological clarification within the māhātmya discourse; no specific tīrtha is named in this verse.
No explicit ritual is prescribed; it supports the purity and universality of Lakṣmī–Viṣṇu worship.
