FAQs

When danger-signs intensify, prudent action and timely withdrawal can be dharmic—protecting life and order.

The instruction occurs within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa narrative world; the verse emphasizes protective counsel rather than a named tīrtha.

A practical apotropaic measure is given: ‘pura-tyāga’ (leaving the city) as the stated means to avert the omen.
