FAQs

Prosperity and stable rule are portrayed as fruits of dharma, where a king removes ‘thorns’—injustice and suffering—from society.

The larger passage belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya; this verse sets the human lineage context before the tīrtha and vrata teaching unfolds.

None directly in this verse; it introduces Sudarśana’s background before the later Śivarātri-vrata discussion.
