FAQs
It shows an encyclopedic sweep: alongside cosmographic items (mountains, time-cycles, nature-deities), it also lists ritual elements like homa (fire-offering), jāgaraṇa (vigil), and the invocation of Lokapālas.
Lokapālas are the directional guardians of the world (e.g., Indra, Agni, Yama, Nirṛti, Varuṇa, Vāyu, Kubera, Īśāna), often invoked or installed in rites to sanctify space and protect the ritual domain.
The pairing suggests disciplined worship: offering (homa) combined with sustained attentiveness (jāgaraṇa), implying that ritual efficacy is linked to steadiness, vigilance, and reverence rather than mere formality.
