FAQs
When worldly supports collapse, the Purāṇic path redirects the devotee toward kṣetra-sevā (service in a holy place) and steadfast worship.
The immediate glorification is of ‘this kṣetra’ within the Nāgara Khaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya context; the excerpt emphasizes the sanctity of remaining at the holy site.
A vow-like intention is stated: to remain in the kṣetra and perform paricaryā (devotional service).
