FAQs

The Māhātmya stresses extraordinary purification and enduring auspiciousness (Lakṣmī) as fruits of the praised sacred practice.

Contextually, the promise is tied to Dvārakā—especially Gomati/Cakratīrtha—described just before.

No new ritual is added; it continues the phala of the Dvārakā tīrtha observance (snāna/visit, devotion, and related conduct).
