FAQs
The verse states that regular listening (nitya-śravaṇa) to this tīrtha-puṇya account leads to jātismaratva—remembering past births—and joy in heaven (nākapṛṣṭha).
Jātismaratva literally means “remembering births,” i.e., the ability to recall previous lives—presented here as a fruit of sustained purity and devotional listening.
It emphasizes śuci (purity/clean conduct) and consistency (nityam, sadā), implying that the practice should be regular and supported by a purified lifestyle.
