Type: tirtha

FAQs
The Purāṇic hierarchy places God-centered devotion and darśana above even dramatic tīrtha-based renunciation.
A ‘su-tīrtha’ associated with Bhṛgupāta is mentioned; the verse’s climax, however, is the glorification of Hṛṣīkeśa-darśana in Cāturmāsya.
No standard ritual; it references the act/event termed Bhṛgupāta at a tīrtha, contrasted with Cāturmāsya spiritual discipline.
