FAQs

Sustained discipline—purifying snāna, darśana of the liṅga, and repeated night-vigil—is praised as a dhārmic regimen that grants protection and steadiness of life.

The verse glorifies a specific liṅga and its associated bathing spot (kuṇḍa) within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s tīrtha narrative, though the site-name is not stated in the provided excerpt.
