FAQs

This verse highlights adhikāra (fitness/appropriateness): certain teachings are conveyed by the right speaker at the right time, preserving accuracy and dharmic propriety.

Indirectly: it frames a transition in narration—someone else will deliver the complete account—often used in the Purana to introduce detailed explanations of post-death matters with proper authority.

Seek guidance on rites and ethics from competent teachers/texts, and communicate sensitive spiritual topics with timing, context, and responsibility.
