FAQs

Divine grace can remove fear of mortality; the deeper aim is inner healing—grief is portrayed as a mental affliction to be released.

No specific tīrtha is named; the verse emphasizes Brahmā’s boon within the Arbuda Khanda narrative.

None; the focus is on reassurance and the fruit of divine favor (vara).
