FAQs
Even amid desperation, the sage remembers the Pitṛs and performs offering; the Purāṇa elevates ancestral rites and agni-oblation as enduring pillars of dharma.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it is part of the Adhyāya 90 narrative within the Tīrthamāhātmya.
Pitṛ-tarpaṇa (satisfying the ancestors) and agni-homa/juhoti (offering oblations into fire) are explicitly referenced.
