FAQs

Tīrtha-dharma is completed by dāna: supporting brāhmaṇas and honoring them properly is upheld as a joyful, meritorious duty.

The verse continues the Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative in a local sacred setting; the tīrtha name is not stated in this verse alone.

Dāna in the form of vṛtti (ongoing maintenance/support) to brāhmaṇas, offered formally (nivedya).
