FAQs
The Purāṇic narrative frames life-events as karmically linked, later made intelligible through sacred revelation associated with tīrthas.
The immediate verse is narrative; within the adhyāya, the context is Jñānavāpī in Kāśī as the revealer of such memories.
None explicitly; the verse recounts an abduction and journey.
