The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
सर्वभागवतप्रीतिं समुद्रतटमाश्रितः ॥ अहं रामेण सहितः सा चाप्येकादशी शुभा ॥
sarvabhāgavataprītiṃ samudrataṭam āśritaḥ || ahaṃ rāmeṇa sahitaḥ sā cāpy ekādaśī śubhā
Am Meeresufer verweilend, erfreut dieser Ort alle Verehrer des seligen Herrn. Ich bin dort zusammen mit Rāma; und auch jene Ekādaśī ist glückverheißend.
Varāha (Viṣṇu)
It connects a coastal sacred setting with devotional observance (Ekādaśī), showing how Purāṇic texts map religious calendars onto physical landscapes.
The verse identifies a coastal zone (samudrataṭa) but does not specify a named modern location; it may relate to a broader tīrtha network associated with the preceding narrative.
It promotes mindful calendrical observance and respectful engagement with heritage landscapes, framed as a cultural practice that fosters communal devotion.
