अग्निहोत्रसहस्रस्य यत्फलं प्राप्यते बुधैः । समं तद्वेदविदुषा तीर्थे सोमस्य तत्फलम्
agnihotrasahasrasya yatphalaṃ prāpyate budhaiḥ | samaṃ tadvedaviduṣā tīrthe somasya tatphalam
Le fruit que les sages obtiennent en accomplissant mille Agnihotra, ce même fruit est acquis par un connaisseur du Veda au tīrtha de Soma; telle est la vertu méritoire de ce lieu.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
A consecrated tīrtha can confer immense spiritual fruit, comparable to major Vedic sacrifices, especially for those grounded in Vedic life.
Somatīrtha—Soma’s sacred ford—praised as equal in fruit to a thousand Agnihotra rites.
The verse highlights the result (phala) of being at Somatīrtha; it implies pilgrimage and tīrtha-sevā by a Veda-knower yields extraordinary merit.
