FAQs

The highest fruit of a sacred place is inner absorption—meditation on the Supreme beyond sensory life.

The ‘tatra sthāne’ refers to the same praised tīrtha-context in this adhyāya, centered on Bhūtīśvara/Muktitīrtha in Revā Khaṇḍa.

Regular dhyāna (daily meditation) on the paramaṃ padam, described as subtle and beyond the senses.
