in the Mata–Pitri Tirtha Cycle
तद्ध्यानास्तद्गताः सर्वे संजाता भावतत्पराः । तेषां गृहाणि दिव्यानि पुण्यानि द्विजसत्तम
taddhyānāstadgatāḥ sarve saṃjātā bhāvatatparāḥ | teṣāṃ gṛhāṇi divyāni puṇyāni dvijasattama
তেওঁলোক সকলোৱে তেওঁৰ ধ্যানত লীন হৈ, তেওঁৰেই আশ্ৰয়ত স্থিত হৈ, ভক্তিভাৱত একান্ত পৰায়ণ হ’ল। হে শ্ৰেষ্ঠ দ্বিজ! তেওঁলোকৰ গৃহসমূহ দিৱ্য আৰু পুণ্যময় হ’ল।

Concept: When minds are fixed on Vishnu (tad-dhyana, tad-gati), bhava matures into total devotion, and even ordinary homes become ‘divine’—a lived temple.
Application: Turn the home into a bhakti-space: daily nama-japa, a small altar, sattvika food offered as naivedya, and mindful speech; let remembrance be continuous rather than occasional.

FAQs
It describes a shift into God-centered meditation and devotion (bhāva), resulting in the sanctification of one’s living space—homes becoming “divine” and “merit-producing.”
It links inner absorption in the divine (dhyāna, tad-gatāḥ) with an outward, lived holiness (puṇya) in ordinary life, a hallmark of Bhakti spirituality.
That sustained remembrance/meditation and sincere devotional intent can purify daily life; the home becomes a place of virtue when its residents are oriented toward the divine.
