FAQs
Sacred knowledge is transmitted through disciplined recitation and teaching; the Purāṇic tradition emphasizes oral proclamation for the welfare of listeners.
The verse sits within the Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s glorification of Kāśī, though this specific line focuses on the act of recitation rather than a named tīrtha.
No direct injunction is given; the act depicted is pāṭha (recitation), a supportive devotional practice.
