FAQs

Moral and ascetic power (tapas) grounded in dharma is treated as efficacious; even deities respect it to avoid adharma and its consequences.

The immediate focus is on pativratā-dharma within a tīrtha-māhātmya setting; the tīrtha is contextual rather than explicitly named in this verse.

None; it underscores the authority of a pativratā’s word and the concept of śāpa.
