अत्र स्नात्वा धर्मपुत्रो महदैश्वर्यमाप्तवान् । इन्द्रप्रस्थे वसन्पूर्वं श्रीकृष्णेन प्रचोदितः
atra snātvā dharmaputro mahadaiśvaryamāptavān | indraprasthe vasanpūrvaṃ śrīkṛṣṇena pracoditaḥ
Ici, après s’être baigné, Dharmaputra obtint une grande souveraineté et une vaste prospérité ; jadis, demeurant à Indraprastha, il fut exhorté par Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
Sūta
Tirtha: Lakṣmī-tīrtha
Type: kund
Scene: Dharmaputra (Yudhiṣṭhira) performs a solemn immersion at Lakṣmī-tīrtha; the waters shimmer with lotus motifs and a subtle presence of Lakṣmī; Kṛṣṇa’s prompting is implied as a guiding, protective aura; the result is a vision of royal insignia and prosperity arising from the tīrtha.
Purāṇas validate tīrtha power through exemplary figures: righteous kings gain aiśvarya through sacred bathing under divine counsel.
The tīrtha being discussed in the passage—Lakṣmī-tīrtha (context of Adhyāya 21).
Snāna (bathing) at the tīrtha.
