Потому это место и стало называться «Девая́джана». Плод, который в ином месте достигается совершением ста жертвоприношений, здесь обретается одной жертвой, если она должным образом сопровождается дакшиной.

FAQs

Sacred geography amplifies dharma: when rites are performed correctly (with dakṣiṇā), a tīrtha can multiply merit beyond ordinary measure.

Devayajana—the named sacrificial holy place within the Chapter 75 kṣetra (Nāgara Khaṇḍa, Tīrthamāhātmya).

Perform a kratu (sacrifice) at Devayajana and ensure it includes proper dakṣiṇā; this is said to yield extraordinary fruit.
