तृतीयं सर्वपापानां नाशनं पुण्यवर्द्धनम् । अग्नितीर्थे नरः स्नात्वा पूज्य गंधर्वपूजितम्
tṛtīyaṃ sarvapāpānāṃ nāśanaṃ puṇyavarddhanam | agnitīrthe naraḥ snātvā pūjya gaṃdharvapūjitam
Das dritte vernichtet alle Sünden und mehrt das Verdienst. Nachdem ein Mensch in Agnitīrtha gebadet hat, soll er Den verehren, den auch die Gandharvas verehren.

Tirtha: Agnitīrtha
Type: tirtha
Scene: A pilgrim, freshly bathed at Agnitīrtha, approaches a radiant liṅga shrine while celestial Gandharvas hover above, offering garlands and singing; the sea-coast ambience of Prabhāsa frames the scene.
Tīrtha-snāna followed by Śiva-pūjā is upheld as a complete purificatory path—removing pāpa and increasing puṇya.
