FAQs

Purāṇic tīrthas can transmit extraordinary merit: even in hellish conditions, a divine/sacred influence may suspend suffering and reveal a higher law of grace.

Implicitly, the Arbuda tīrtha associated with Yama/Dharmarāja—its merit is so potent that its effect echoes even into naraka.

None stated; the emphasis is on the tīrtha’s mysterious efficacy rather than a specific rite.
