त्वष्टारं चैव काश्मीरे चरित्रे रत्नसंभवम् । पुष्करे हेमगर्भस्थं विद्यात्सूर्यं गभस्तिके
tvaṣṭāraṃ caiva kāśmīre caritre ratnasaṃbhavam | puṣkare hemagarbhasthaṃ vidyātsūryaṃ gabhastike
Au Kāśmīra, on le nomme « Tvaṣṭṛ » ; à Caritra, « Ratnasaṃbhava » ; à Puṣkara, « Hemagarbhastha » ; et à Gabhastikā, il doit être reconnu comme « Sūrya ».
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kāśmīra (Tvaṣṭṛ); Caritra (Ratnasaṃbhava); Puṣkara (Hemagarbhastha); Gabhastikā (Sūrya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Four sacred scenes: Kashmir valley with Sūrya as Tvaṣṭṛ crafting a luminous wheel; Caritra with Sūrya emerging amid jewels as Ratnasaṃbhava; Pushkar lake with pilgrims bathing and Sūrya as Hemagarbhastha within a golden orb; Gabhastikā with rays (gabhasti) streaming like threads of light over a shrine, labeled simply ‘Sūrya’.
Knowing the deity’s sacred names tied to tīrthas is part of pilgrimage-dharma and preserves the map of sanctity.
Kāśmīra, Caritra, Puṣkara, and Gabhastikā are cited as places of Sūrya’s special appellations.
Only the instruction ‘vidyāt’ (one should know) is implied; no explicit vrata or offering is described.
