FAQs
It indexes a network of named places within Purāṇic pilgrimage literature, useful for tracing how sacred geographies were remembered and linked across chapters.
Kāliñjara is explicitly named (often identified with the Kālinjar hill-fort region in present-day Uttar Pradesh/Madhya Pradesh border area); Kṛṣṇagaṅgā-udbhava and Śūkara appear as additional toponyms or site-designations in the chapter’s tīrtha discourse.
