आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

(“unbroken recitation”) The unbroken
recitation of an entire religious text,
which is believed to bring religious benefits; individuals may perform such
recitations for their own benefit, or they
may hire another person to perform the
recitation for them. The benefits of this
action are believed to come from the
perceived power of the sacred text itself.
The recitation may be done as a pious
act, simply for the merit in sponsoring
it, or as part of a festival observance; it
may also be a last resort in times of dire
emergencies or a religious act performed after a death in the family. One
of the texts often recited without a break
is the Ramcharitmanas, a retelling of
the Ramayana by the sixteenth-century
poet-saint Tulsidas; in the Sikh community, the Adigranth is recited.
