FAQs
After fulfilling worldly duty, one should turn toward renunciation and seek liberating knowledge from a realized guru.
No named tīrtha; the ‘forest’ signifies the vānaprastha path, and Agastya is the spiritual authority.
Not a ritual but an āśrama-dharma move: entrusting rule to the son and undertaking tapas, culminating in brahmajñāna from Agastya.
