FAQs

When danger becomes overwhelming, the dhārmic response is to turn inward—dhyāna and remembrance of the Supreme become the true refuge.

Kedāra is the larger sacred-geography frame, but the verse highlights the Devas’ crisis rather than a tīrtha description.

Meditative remembrance (dhyāna) is implied as the Devas’ recourse, though no formal rite is prescribed.
