तेन तीर्थं महापुण्यं सर्वपातकनाशनम् । कथितं ब्रह्मणा पूर्वं मया तव तथा नृप
tena tīrthaṃ mahāpuṇyaṃ sarvapātakanāśanam | kathitaṃ brahmaṇā pūrvaṃ mayā tava tathā nṛpa
لذلك فإن هذا التيرثا عظيمُ الفضل، مُزيلٌ لكلّ الآثام. قد أعلنه براهما من قبل، وأنا كذلك أخبرتك به الآن، أيها الملك.
Skanda (deduced; addressing a king as listener)
Tirtha: Śukla-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: King (nṛpa)
Scene: A sage-like narrator addresses a king, gesturing toward the river tīrtha; behind them, a subtle iconographic presence of Brahmā signifies prior proclamation and scriptural authority.
Tīrtha-māhātmya is validated by lineage of revelation: what Brahmā taught is reaffirmed for devotees and rulers alike.
Śukla-tīrtha (the tīrtha under discussion across these verses).
No new rite; the verse authorizes the teaching and reiterates the tīrtha’s universal sin-destroying power.
