FAQs
Approaching a sacred place with resolve and glad-hearted faith is itself a dhārmic act that prepares one to receive tīrtha-merit.
The verse refers generally to “that kṣetra” within the ongoing Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative; the precise tīrtha is determined by the surrounding verses of Adhyāya 111.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; it emphasizes vow-like assent and undertaking a pilgrimage to the kṣetra.
