FAQs

The highest offering to spiritual guides is the disciple’s realization and right attainment—success itself becomes the dakṣiṇā.

The verse occurs in Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya; it primarily teaches dharma within the narrative.

Dakṣiṇā is discussed, with a deeper teaching that attainment (siddhi) is the most meaningful ‘offering’ to one’s teachers.
