FAQs

The Purāṇic view affirms an allotted destiny (vihita) and a divinely governed order, where death comes according to one’s ordained share.

No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it is part of the Arbudakhaṇḍa narrative within Prabhāsakhaṇḍa.

None; this is a doctrinal statement about destiny and the specificity of one’s ordained death.
