Educational Q&A
Sacred power is sustained and made auspicious through vidhī (proper rule): Agni is not merely a physical flame but a divine presence that abides safely when honored and contained within dharmic and ritual order.
The narrator describes how the observers come to Agnitīrtha and witness Agni residing properly within the śamī tree’s interior, emphasizing a holy site and a marvel tied to ritual tradition.
