FAQs

Human birth is rare and should be used for devotion; worship of the Supreme Lord elevates one and sanctifies society.

No specific tīrtha is named; the verse glorifies devotion itself and the sanctifying power of saints.

‘Parameśvara-pāda-pūjā’—worship of the Lord’s feet (a general prescription for devotion, not a location-specific rite).
