FAQs

Even when performing great works, humility and reverence toward divine authorities (Soma and Brahmā) is upheld as the mark of dharma.

Prabhāsakṣetra indirectly, since the Brahmaloka visit is undertaken to invite Soma for the Prabhāsa yajña.

Dāṇḍavat praṇāma (full prostration) as a gesture of reverence before making a formal invitation.
