कोटीतीर्थे परां सिद्धिं सम्प्राप्ताः सर्वतोषणात् । तेन तत्पुण्यमतुलं सर्वतीर्थेषु चोत्तमम्
koṭītīrthe parāṃ siddhiṃ samprāptāḥ sarvatoṣaṇāt | tena tatpuṇyamatulaṃ sarvatīrtheṣu cottamam

Tirtha: Koṭī-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: King
Scene: A radiant Koṭī-tīrtha: worshippers complete pūjā and are shown receiving ‘siddhi’—aura-like luminosity, serene faces, and symbolic ascent; inscriptions or attendants proclaim the tīrtha as supreme.

Koṭī Tīrtha (closely tied to Koṭīśvara) in the Narmadā region.
Not a step-by-step rite; it stresses the principle of sarvatoṣaṇa—worship that fully pleases the Lord.
