FAQs
Ritual action without proper intention and rightful dedication can become a form of spiritual disrespect.
The immediate verse is theological/ritual in focus; the tīrtha context is broader to the chapter rather than a named place here.
Oblations should be offered with correct saṅkalpa—explicitly dedicating the offering to the intended deity.
