FAQs

Worldly justice proceeds by report and enforcement, but the deeper Purāṇic aim is to lead the listener toward repentance and sacred remedy.

Prabhāsa-kṣetra; the story’s moral tension is later resolved through the tīrtha’s sanctifying power.

None explicitly; it is a narrative transition toward later vrata/tīrtha teaching.
