FAQs
All beings—celestial, earthly, and subterranean—are ultimately sustained by Divine grace; therefore seeking that grace is natural and wise.
The broader context is the Kāśī Khaṇḍa (Vārāṇasī/Kāśī Mahātmya), though this verse itself speaks generally of divine grace rather than naming a specific tīrtha.
No explicit ritual (snāna, dāna, japa, vrata) is prescribed in this verse.
