FAQs
Great offerings at a tīrtha are depicted as spiritually radiant, suggesting that dāna performed in sacred space amplifies merit.
A tīra (bank) within the Adhyāya 111 setting is indicated; the verse itself does not name the river or tīrtha.
Arranging/placing a vast collection of ornaments at the bank implies a dāna or pūjā preparation, though the explicit command is not stated in this line.
