एवं सिद्धित्रयं प्रोक्तं ब्राह्मणानां हितावहम् । सात्त्विकं ब्राह्मणश्रेष्ठाः शंसितं त्रिदशैरपि
evaṃ siddhitrayaṃ proktaṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ hitāvaham | sāttvikaṃ brāhmaṇaśreṣṭhāḥ śaṃsitaṃ tridaśairapi
Así se ha declarado la triple realización, benéfica para los brāhmaṇas; oh el mejor de los brāhmaṇas, es de naturaleza sāttvika y es alabada incluso por los dioses.
Sūta (contextual continuity)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brāhmaṇas (addressed as ‘brāhmaṇa-śreṣṭhāḥ’)
Scene: A teaching scene: sages addressing ‘best of brāhmaṇas’ in a temple mandapa; above, subtle celestial figures (devas) gesture approval; the mood is doctrinal and serene.
Pilgrimage disciplines and gifts, when sāttvika, are upheld as divinely approved paths to welfare and attainment.
The statement summarizes merits within the Hāṭakeśvara-region tīrtha cycle rather than introducing a separate site.
A summary endorsement of the earlier three practices (snāna, dāna, and vow/fasting) as a ‘threefold’ sāttvika regimen.
