কাৰ্ত্তিক মাহত কৃত্তিকা-যোগ পৰিলে যি নৰ পুষ্কৰত স্নান কৰে—সেইজন জন্ম-মৰণৰ চক্ৰত সঞ্চিত পাপৰ পৰা ক্ষণমাত্ৰতে মুক্ত হয়।
Skanda (contextual attribution within Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Puṣkara
Type: kshetra
Scene: At dawn in Kārttika, pilgrims descend Puṣkara ghāṭas; the sky shows the Kṛttikā star cluster motif; a devotee enters the water with folded hands, suggesting instant purification.
Time and place together intensify spiritual fruit: sacred calendrical moments amplify tīrtha merit.
Puṣkara tīrtha, especially as a Kārttika-month pilgrimage destination.
Perform snāna at Puṣkara in Kārttika specifically during the Kṛttikā-yoga.
