FAQs

True tīrtha practice includes gratitude and giving—supporting brāhmaṇas and fulfilling ancestral obligations through śrāddha.

The verse refers to “that tīrtha” in the Revākhaṇḍa, i.e., a Revā/Narmadā pilgrimage spot discussed in Adhyāya 146.

After recitations and tīrtha-snāna, perform śrāddha properly and give dakṣiṇā according to one’s means; also present due offerings/acknowledgment to brāhmaṇas.
