FAQs
It states the immediate sin-destroying (kilbiṣa-nāśa) efficacy of bathing/visiting Mohinī Tīrtha, and then prescribes continuing the pilgrimage to the widely famed Pāriplava Tīrtha—showing purification followed by progressive sacred travel.
By emphasizing faith-filled observance of tīrtha-yātrā and trust in scriptural assurance (“no doubt”), it supports bhakti as disciplined practice—purifying the devotee and orienting them toward further sacred acts dedicated to the Divine.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is implicit: the verse gives a clear injunctional sequence—first the purifying act at Mohinī, then the prescribed movement to another tīrtha—reflecting how pilgrimage and expiation are structured as rule-based observances.
