FAQs

Sacred time (tithi) and sacred action (yajña) converge, and divine wonder manifests where dharma is performed in a consecrated place.

The continuing setting is the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya within Nāgara-khaṇḍa.

No direct injunction; it situates the rites on Dvādaśī and introduces a devas-related marvel occurring during the yajña.
