द्रष्टुं तीर्थान्यनेकानि बभ्राम स महीतले । सुराष्ट्रदेशे संप्राप्तः क्षेत्रे वस्त्रापथे द्विजः
draṣṭuṃ tīrthānyanekāni babhrāma sa mahītale | surāṣṭradeśe saṃprāptaḥ kṣetre vastrāpathe dvijaḥ
Um viele heilige Tīrthas zu schauen, wanderte er über die Erde. Jener Brahmane gelangte in das Land Surāṣṭra, in das heilige Gebiet von Vastrāpatha.
Sūta (deduced narrator)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lone brāhmaṇa pilgrim (Vāmana) walking across the earth, then entering Surāṣṭra—coastal light, sacred groves, and the threshold of Vastrāpatha-kṣetra.
Pilgrimage is a dharmic pursuit aimed at darśana—seeking transformative encounters with tīrthas and their presiding divinities.
Vastrāpatha-kṣetra in Surāṣṭra is explicitly named as the destination.
The verse emphasizes tīrthadarśana (visiting/seeing sacred places) as a religious act, without detailing a specific ritual.
