Educational Q&A
The verse functions as a prescriptive step in a dharmic itinerary: one should move from one sacred site to the next, honoring places regarded as divine abodes and thereby cultivating reverence, discipline, and religious merit.
Pulastya continues giving directions within a sequence of tīrtha descriptions, instructing the listener to go next to a place called Mujjavaṭa, characterized as a devastha—an abode associated with the gods and a wise/holy presence.
