FAQs

True sacred merit is not only protective or material; it culminates in clarity of knowledge and inner bliss that makes one spiritually radiant.

Dharmāraṇya is the implied holy setting where such knowledge and radiance are said to manifest.

No direct ritual is stated; the verse highlights the fruit—mastery-like brilliance of the fourteen vidyās and sun-like spiritual radiance.
