FAQs

Auspicious bodily signs are presented as karmic indicators, showing how dharmic merit ripens into radiance and prosperity.

The broader setting is Kāśī in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, though this verse focuses on lakṣaṇas rather than naming a single tīrtha.

None explicitly; the verse is descriptive, linking physical marks with फल (results).
