āśramaFAQs
Acts done in relation to a sacred narrative (service, responsibility, return to āśrama) set the stage for divine grace that unfolds through a tīrtha’s power.
The chapter context points to a Bhāskara-associated tīrtha/puṇya-kuṇḍa described in Adhyāya 212, though the exact name is clearer in adjacent verses.
No direct prescription in this verse; it is narrative transition.
