प्रह्लाद उवाच । ततो गच्छेद्द्विजश्रेष्ठास्तीर्थं विष्णुपदोद्भवम् । यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण गंगास्नानफलं लभेत्
prahlāda uvāca | tato gaccheddvijaśreṣṭhāstīrthaṃ viṣṇupadodbhavam | yasya darśanamātreṇa gaṃgāsnānaphalaṃ labhet
Prahlāda dit : Alors, ô meilleurs des brāhmanes, allez au tīrtha né du pied de Viṣṇu. Par sa seule vision, on obtient le fruit du bain dans la Gaṅgā.
Prahlāda
Tirtha: Viṣṇupadodbhava / Vaiṣṇavī tīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Dvija-śreṣṭhas (brāhmaṇas)
Scene: Prahlāda instructs brāhmaṇas to proceed to a luminous spring/pond marked as ‘Viṣṇupadodbhava’; the water glows as if descending from a divine footprint; pilgrims gaze reverently.
Certain Vaiṣṇava tīrthas are so sanctified that even darśana (sacred seeing) grants the merit of major purificatory rites.
The Viṣṇupadodbhava tīrtha—described as originating from Viṣṇu’s foot—within the Dvārakā Māhātmya landscape.
Go to that tīrtha; even its darśana is prescribed as spiritually efficacious (equated to Gaṅgā-snāna merit).
