FAQs
It teaches that sacred praise (gāna/stuti) adapts to yuga-context: the same Lord is revered through different established names, and honoring the recognized Kali-yuga name aligns one’s worship with the living tirtha tradition.
Bhakti here is expressed through nāma-kīrtana—devotional glorification of the Lord’s name—showing that sincere praise using the traditionally transmitted name (as upheld by Siddhas) is a valid and potent form of worship.
Nirukta/etymological awareness and correct nāma-usage in stotra and ritual recitation are implied: knowing the proper divine appellation for a tirtha and yuga supports accurate liturgical practice.
