FAQs

Sacred time (kāla) matters in Purāṇic dharma; merit and divine events are often linked to seasons and specific days.

Not specified in this verse; it sets up calendrical details within the broader tīrtha-glorifying narrative.

No explicit rite is prescribed; the verse asks for the month and days connected with Śakra’s coming.
