Tirtha: Śālagrāma
Type: kshetra
Listener: Audience addressed within tīrtha-māhātmya (unspecified)

Simple offerings, when made with devotion and at sacred times, become powerful carriers of auspicious merit.
Śālagrāma is emphasized as the sacred focus; the verse also highlights the sacred season of Cāturmāsya.
