विना मन्त्रेण यस्तत्र देवि स्नानं समाचरेत् । समाप्नोति क्वचिच्छ्रेयो मुक्त्वैकं पर्ववासरम्
vinā mantreṇa yastatra devi snānaṃ samācaret | samāpnoti kvacicchreyo muktvaikaṃ parvavāsaram
يا ديفي، من اغتسل هناك من غير تلاوة المانترا قد ينال أحيانًا بعض النفع؛ غير أنّه في يوم البَرفَن المقدّس تُسلب حتى تلك المنفعة.
Śiva to Devī (Pārvatī) (deduced from direct address 'devi' and instruction on rite)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra Samudra-tīra (Lavaṇodadhi)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim at Prabhāsa seashore hesitates to enter the waves; priests indicate the parvan day and mantra requirement, with Somnātha’s coastal sacred aura in the background.
Sacred places yield fullest fruit when approached with correct mantra and rule; intention must be joined to proper method.
The ‘there’ refers to the Prabhāsa coastal tīrtha context of this adhyāya, where sea-bathing is regulated.
Bathing should be performed with the appropriate mantra; on parvan days, omission of mantra nullifies the benefit.
