Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
महर्षीणामिदं गुह्ां सर्वपापप्रमोचनम् | अधीत्य द्विजमध्ये च निर्मल: स्वर्गमाप्तुयात्,यह महर्षियोंका गोपनीय रहस्य है। सब पापोंका नाश करनेवाला है। द्विजमण्डलीमें इस गंगा-माहात्म्यका पाठ करके मनुष्य निर्मल हो स्वर्गलोकमें पहुँच जाता है
maharṣīṇām idaṁ guhyaṁ sarvapāpapramocanam | adhītya dvijamadhye ca nirmalaḥ svargam āpnuyāt |
Dijo Pulastya: «Esta es una enseñanza secreta de los grandes sabios, un medio que libera de todos los pecados. Quien la estudia y la recita en la asamblea de los dos veces nacidos queda purificado y alcanza el mundo celestial».
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
A revered, guarded teaching—identified in context as a sacred māhātmya—purifies moral impurity: learning and ritually reciting it in a proper religious setting is presented as a means to remove sin and gain heavenly attainment.
Pulastya concludes or emphasizes the efficacy of the sacred account he has been teaching: he characterizes it as a rishi-secret that destroys sin, and states the fruit (phala) of studying and reciting it among the twice-born—purity and attainment of Svarga.
