ក្រោយពីបានរួចផុតហើយ តើហេតុអ្វីគាត់បានទៅសុំជ្រកនៅក្នុង ‘ភ្រុណ-គរតា’ (រណ្តៅពាក់ព័ន្ធនឹងអំពើសម្លាប់ទារកក្នុងផ្ទៃ) ម្តងទៀត? ហើយរណ្តៅនោះកើតមានដូចម្តេច? សូមប្រាប់យើងទាំងអស់ដោយលម្អិត។
Ṛṣis (Sages)
Tirtha: Bhrūṇa-gartā
Type: kund
Listener: Sūta

FAQs

None directly; the request for “detail” signals an upcoming māhātmya account that typically supports snāna, dāna, and prayāścitta.
