यस्तत्र कुरुते स्नानं सकृद्भक्त्या समन्वितः । नान्वयेऽपि भयं तस्य जाय ते सर्पसंभवम्
yastatra kurute snānaṃ sakṛdbhaktyā samanvitaḥ | nānvaye'pi bhayaṃ tasya jāya te sarpasaṃbhavam
Wer dort auch nur ein einziges Mal in Hingabe badet—bei dem wird keine aus Schlangen entspringende Furcht entstehen, nicht einmal innerhalb seiner Linie.
Sūta (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Nāgatīrtha
Type: tirtha
Scene: A devotee bathes once with folded hands; above/around, nāga energies are pacified—serpents appear calm, protective, and non-threatening; a lineage motif (family figures) stands behind, symbolizing inherited safety.
A single sincere act of devotion at a holy place can remove deep-seated fear and confer protection across generations.
Nāgatīrtha.
Perform snāna at Nāgatīrtha with bhakti, even once.
