Listener: Implied audience of beings/prāṇins; within dialogue, directed toward Śiva as rationale for accessible grace

FAQs
Spiritual life is sustained by ongoing connection with the Divine—darśana is not a one-time event but a continual need.
The verse continues the Kedāra/Kailāsa context, though no single tirtha-name is stated in this line.
A general prescription is implied: seek darśana continually (through worship, remembrance, pilgrimage, or inner contemplation).
