हुङ्कारतीर्थे यः स्नात्वा पश्यत्यव्ययमच्युतम् । स मुच्यते नरः पापैः सप्तजन्म कृतैरपि
huṅkāratīrthe yaḥ snātvā paśyatyavyayamacyutam | sa mucyate naraḥ pāpaiḥ saptajanma kṛtairapi
من اغتسل في تيرثا «هُنْكارا» وشاهدَ الأزليَّ الذي لا يفنى، أتشيوتا (فيشنو)، تحرّر من الآثام، حتى تلك التي اقترفها عبر سبع ولادات.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Huṅkāra-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Rājendra (king)
Scene: Pilgrims bathing at a river ghat labeled Huṅkāra-tīrtha, then ascending steps to behold a radiant Viṣṇu (Acyuta) icon; a subtle aura indicates sins dissolving like dark mist in water.
Tīrtha-snānā (holy bathing) combined with Viṣṇu-darśana is presented as a powerful means of deep purification and liberation from accumulated sin.
Huṅkāra Tīrtha on the Narmadā (Revā) as described in the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Perform snāna (ritual bathing) at Huṅkāra Tīrtha and take darśana (behold) Acyuta (Viṣṇu).
