sasāgaradharāyāṃ ca sarvatīrtheṣu yatphalam | dinenaikena tatpuṇyaṃ dvārakākṛṣṇasannidhau
أيُّ ثمرةٍ تُنالُ في جميع التيـرثات (tīrtha) على الأرض بما فيها من بحار، فإنَّ ذلك الثوابَ بعينه يُنالُ في يومٍ واحدٍ في دوارَكا، بحضرةِ كريشنا (Kṛṣṇa).
Pitṛs (ancestral beings)
Tirtha: द्वारका-क्षेत्र (Kṛṣṇa-sannidhi)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims arrive at Dvārakā; the temple of Kṛṣṇa radiates; a symbolic map-like aura shows many tīrthas merging into the kṣetra as if rivers of merit flow into one sanctum.
Dvārakā is exalted as a supremely concentrated field of merit: proximity to Kṛṣṇa there is said to equal the fruits of all tīrthas.
Dvārakā, specifically ‘Kṛṣṇa-sannidhi’—the holy presence/abode of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Spending even one day in Dvārakā in devotion and proximity to Kṛṣṇa is implied as a powerful religious observance.
