FAQs

Approaching divine powers with reverence (praṇāma) precedes right action and right speech in sacred matters.

The broader setting is Kāśī, where Yoginī and Mātṛ traditions are presented as spiritually potent within the Kāśī Māhātmya framework.

No explicit rite is prescribed here; the verse highlights devotional etiquette—bowing and formally presenting the matter before the Mothers.
