FAQs
It preserves a common Purāṇic narrative motif: a sage acknowledges royal hospitality and then resumes itinerant movement across sacred and cosmological spaces.
No specific terrestrial location is named here; the wording lokān is cosmological (“worlds/realms”) rather than a toponym.
The verse implicitly values hospitality and respectful patronage (pūjā) as a culturally endorsed royal duty toward learned visitors.
