FAQs
Darśana of saints and sages is itself a sacred act, producing joy and spiritual uplift, and is portrayed as a fitting dharmic pursuit.
The verse highlights darśana within the Mandara/Vastrāpathakṣetra narrative setting rather than naming a separate tīrtha.
Darśana (seeking holy audience) is commended as a practice; no detailed rite is given.
