FAQs

Śiva is the inner reality of all beings and the universal cause; constant remembrance (day and night) is upheld as a path of devotion.

No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it is a theological affirmation within the Revā Khaṇḍa narrative.

No formal prescription; it recommends continual smaraṇa (remembrance) of Hara.
