ततः सरस्वतीं प्राप्य पुण्यां शीतजलां नदीम् । सेवितां मुनिसंघैस्तां लोलकल्लोलमालिनीम्
tataḥ sarasvatīṃ prāpya puṇyāṃ śītajalāṃ nadīm | sevitāṃ munisaṃghaistāṃ lolakallolamālinīm
Entonces llegó al Sarasvatī, río santo de aguas frescas, servido por huestes de sabios y engalanado con guirnaldas de olas juguetonas que ruedan y se mecen.
Narrator (deduced Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative voice)
Tirtha: Sarasvatī
Type: river
Scene: The pilgrim arrives at the Sarasvatī: a cool, luminous river with playful rolling waves; sages line the banks in meditation and ritual service.
Sacred rivers are living tīrthas—approached with reverence, they grant merit and spiritual cooling of inner heat.
Sarasvatī river as a tīrtha, celebrated as puṇyā (merit-bestowing) and sage-frequented.
Implicitly prepares for river-based rites (especially snāna), which are stated explicitly later.
