FAQs
Dhānya-parvata (“mountain of grain”) is a charitable/ritual model where offerings are arranged in a mound-like form and the accompanying procedures (such as āvāhana and related rites) are followed according to that established pattern.
The verse gives a concrete ritual orientation (directionality) as part of a prescribed vidhi. In many Purāṇic rites, direction and placement are treated as integral to correctness of performance.
The instruction is framed as a vidhi for proper performance of a giving/ritual act, implying that sincerity in charity and careful adherence to sacred procedure are valued as supports for religious merit (puṇya).
