Devanagari script

एतौ स्थितौ दुःखहरौ रेवाया उत्तरे तटे । तावभ्यर्च्य तथा नत्वा सम्यग्यात्राफलं भवेत् । अदृष्टपूजितौ तौ हि नराणां विघ्नकारकौ

Transliteration

etau sthitau duḥkhaharau revāyā uttare taṭe | tāvabhyarcya tathā natvā samyagyātrāphalaṃ bhavet | adṛṣṭapūjitau tau hi narāṇāṃ vighnakārakau

Translation

Diese beiden, am Nordufer der Revā stehend, nehmen das Leid hinweg. Wer sie recht verehrt und sich verneigt, erlangt die volle Frucht der Pilgerfahrt. Denn werden sie nicht geschaut und nicht verehrt, werden sie den Menschen zur Ursache von Hindernissen.

FAQs

Pilgrimage becomes complete through reverent darśana, pūjā, and namaskāra; neglect of sacred stations invites inner and outer obstacles.

The paired sacred stations on the northern bank of the Revā—contextually Bhairava at Bhṛgutunga and the Capaleśvara tīrtha.

Perform worship (abhyarcya) and bowing (natvā) to the two sacred presences to obtain the full merit of the yātrā.
