FAQs
Disrespect toward sacred ritual symbols (like kuśa) reflects adharma and leads to grave consequences in Purāṇic ethics.
The broader passage belongs to Dvārakā-māhātmya in Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa, oriented toward Dvārakā and its tīrthas.
No direct prescription here; kuśa appears as a sacred ritual item whose misuse is shown as an offense.
