FAQs
Jayantī here is presented as a sacred figure/observance whose “māhātmya” (holy greatness) is spiritually potent; hearing it with devotion is said to generate liberating merit.
It highlights śravaṇa (devotional hearing) done in bhakti-bhāva as sufficient to purify sins and lead one toward the supreme abode.
