सर्वमंगलमांगल्यं पुण्यं सारस्वतं जलम् । ऊर्ध्वं किं दिवि यत्पुण्यं प्रभासांते व्यवस्थितम्
sarvamaṃgalamāṃgalyaṃ puṇyaṃ sārasvataṃ jalam | ūrdhvaṃ kiṃ divi yatpuṇyaṃ prabhāsāṃte vyavasthitam
ماء ساراسفاتا بالغُ اليُمن، بل هو يُمنٌ فوق كل يُمن. فأيُّ ثوابٍ أرفع، حتى في السماء، من الثواب المُقام عند منتهى برابهاسا؟

Tirtha: Sārasvata jala (Sarasvatī-associated tīrtha water) linked with Prabhāsa-anta
Type: kshetra
Listener: brāhmaṇas (viprāḥ)

Sacred geography matters: the merit of holy waters and tīrthas can surpass even celestial attainments.
Sarasvatī’s sacred waters, especially as established in the Prabhāsa region (Prabhāsānta).
Implicitly encourages contact with/usage of Sārasvata water (snāna, ācamana, tīrtha-sevā), though not spelled out here.
