FAQs
True religious authority is tied to disciplined living—self-restraint (yata-vrata) and fidelity to a guru-lineage.
The Revākhaṇḍa context points to the sacred region of Revā/Narmadā and its dharmic settlements, though this verse itself highlights the people (vratins) more than a single named tīrtha.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the emphasis is on vrata-based discipline and the status of the Brāhmaṇas as disciples of ancient ṛṣis.
