तस्मादत्र स्थितं यच्च तस्मिन्स्नानं करोम्यहम् । स एवं निश्चयं कृत्वा श्रद्धापूतेन चेतसा
tasmādatra sthitaṃ yacca tasminsnānaṃ karomyaham | sa evaṃ niścayaṃ kṛtvā śraddhāpūtena cetasā
Darum will ich mich in dem baden, was hier gegenwärtig ist. Nachdem er so den Entschluss gefasst hatte, tat er es mit einem durch Glauben geläuterten Geist.
Viśvāmitra (embedded resolve reported by Sūta)
Tirtha: Tri-Puṣkara (Puṣkara-traya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim at Puṣkara forms a solemn resolve to bathe, hands joined, mind composed, approaching a luminous waterbody with ritual calm.
Faithful resolve sanctifies action; dharma is fulfilled through śraddhā even when ideal conditions (distant pilgrimage) are unavailable.
The nearby, present Puṣkara waters—i.e., the local Puṣkara-traya tīrtha being established in the narrative.
Perform snāna in the locally available sacred water, undertaken with firm resolve and faith.
