FAQs

Sacred place and sacred form cooperate: establishing an image and invoking ongoing divine presence sustains the tīrtha’s living sanctity.

The tīrtha is referenced as ‘here in this place’; the verse itself does not provide the site-name.

Making a mūrti and requesting/ensuring continual divine entry (saṃkramaṇa) into it—an idea akin to ongoing sanctification connected with worship.
