FAQs
It states a concrete tirtha-phala: bathing at the specified sacred spot grants attainment of Agni-loka, and fasting combined with worship of Kaparddīśa (Śiva) completes the merit of the rite.
Bhakti is expressed through disciplined worship (pūjā) of the deity at the tirtha, strengthened by upavāsa (fasting), showing devotion as both inner resolve and outward ritual observance.
Ritual practice aligned with Kalpa-style observance is implied: tīrtha-snāna, upavāsa, and proper pūjā as structured acts of dharma for obtaining a stated spiritual result (loka-prāpti).
