FAQs

This is a colophon; it signals the completion and canonical framing of the Śrāddha rules within the māhātmya narrative.

Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra is explicitly named as the sacred region whose māhātmya contains this Śrāddha teaching.

No new prescription—this verse is the chapter-ending identification of the Śrāddha-kalpa topic.
