FAQs

What is the primary spiritual lesson of this shloka?

Harmony between divine powers sustains the welfare of the world, and speech—especially a curse—should not be frivolously withdrawn.

Which specific holy site (Tirtha) is glorified here?

The immediate passage leads into the glorification of Stambhatīrtha (Pillar-Tīrtha) in this adhyāya.

What ritualistic prescription is mentioned?

None in this verse; it is an ethical instruction about unity and the gravity of a śāpa (curse).
