FAQs
It shows how the Purana integrates Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa with dharma-teachings: worldly stability (friends, spouse, children) is presented as supportive for a disciplined, dharmic life that can culminate in mokṣa.
Indirectly: by describing conditions that yield social and family support, it implies a stable household and righteous prosperity can become a foundation for sustained sādhana—such as Viṣṇu-bhakti, vrata, and charity—rather than an obstacle.
