FAQs

Service that protects sacred rites (yajña-avighna) attracts divine favor; boons arise as recognition of dhārmic support to ritual order.

The immediate verse focuses on the yajña setting and characters; the tīrtha is implied by the chapter’s Tīrthamāhātmya context but not named here.

No direct prescription, but it praises the role of preventing obstacles to yajña, a key ritual virtue (avighna-karaṇa).
