FAQs
Vedic sacrifices yield heavenly enjoyment, but such results remain within the cycle of merit and reward rather than final liberation.
No named tīrtha appears in this verse; it discusses yajña-fruits within the broader māhātmya discourse.
Agniṣṭoma and related yajñas should be performed with saṃpūrṇa-dakṣiṇā (full, proper ritual fees/gifts).
