Educational Q&A

The verse frames pilgrimage as disciplined movement through places sanctified by exemplary conduct. Remembering Rāma’s righteous passage (crossing the Gaṅgā) reinforces dharmic ideals—self-control, duty, and reverence for sacred history—while guiding a king toward merit-bearing destinations.

Pulastya continues giving a route of holy places to the king, instructing him to go next to the great city Śṛṅgadhaverapura, identified as the spot where Rāma, son of Daśaratha, once crossed the river Gaṅgā.
