प्रययुस्ते ततो भूयस्तीर्थानि वनगोचरा: । पुण्येषु तीर्थेषु तथा गात्राण्याप्लावयन्त ते
prayayus te tato bhūyas tīrthāni vanagocarāḥ | puṇyeṣu tīrtheṣu tathā gātrāṇy āplāvayanta te ||
তাৰ পিছত সেই বনবাসী যাত্ৰীসকলে পুনৰ তীৰ্থযাত্ৰা আৰম্ভ কৰিলে। পুণ্য তীৰ্থসমূহত একে একে গৈ তেওঁলোকে পানীত নিমজ্জিত হৈ স্নান কৰি তীৰ্থযাত্ৰাৰে নিজকে শুদ্ধ কৰিলে।
अगस्त्य उवाच
The verse highlights tīrtha-yātrā and ritual bathing as acts of purification and renewal. Ethically, it points to disciplined movement toward sacred spaces and practices that cleanse and reorient a person toward dharma.
Agastya describes a group of forest-travelers resuming their pilgrimage. They go from one holy tīrtha to another and immerse themselves in the waters, performing purificatory baths.
