FAQs
It states that a person is freed from all sins and attains both mukti (liberation) and bhukti (worldly enjoyment/prosperity).
It is named as another tīrtha (sacred pilgrimage site), literally meaning “the place that releases one from piśācas,” i.e., from afflictive, harmful influences personified as piśācas.
The verse promotes tīrtha-yātrā as a means of purification (freedom from sin) and frames spiritual life as capable of harmonizing worldly well-being (bhukti) with the ultimate goal (mukti).
