FAQs

Wrong done ‘through’ someone creates a moral residue; restoring the victim (speech) also restores the agent’s ethical balance (ānṛṇya).

Ritual-ācāra material within narrative; not sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara.

Sarasvatī-iṣṭi implies that speech is not merely biological but sacred; mantra and offering re-open vāg as a channel of śakti and truth.
