FAQs
True learning is communal and embodied—disciples, elders, and consecrated sacred icons together form the setting for dharmic instruction.
The ‘there’ is the chapter’s Sūrya-pratiṣṭhā locale within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya; the verse itself does not name it explicitly.
Visiting/standing before installed Sūrya forms (darśana of consecrated images) is implied.
