FAQs
Steady worship brings both worldly-divine honor and the highest end—apavarga (liberation)—since the Lord grants the full spectrum of auspicious results.
The Kāśī Khaṇḍa framework is the locus; the verse emphasizes devotional results rather than a named Kāśī tirtha.
Satata-bhajana (constant worship/adoration) of the Lord is prescribed as the means to svarga and apavarga.
