FAQs

Purāṇic teaching is transmitted through hospitality, dialogue, and faithful narration—virtues that sustain dharma and sacred memory.

The broader Kāśīkhaṇḍa context continues, though this verse shifts to a narrative bridge rather than a direct tīrtha praise.

Atithi-satkāra (honoring guests) is implied as a dharmic practice.
