गोशतस्य प्रदत्तस्य कुरुक्षेत्रे च यत्फलम् । तत्फलं समवाप्नोति तत्रार्कस्थलदर्शनात्
gośatasya pradattasya kurukṣetre ca yatphalam | tatphalaṃ samavāpnoti tatrārkasthaladarśanāt
Le mérite acquis en offrant cent vaches à Kurukṣetra—ce même mérite s’obtient là-bas par la seule vision (darśana) d’Arkasthala.
Unspecified (contextual narrator in Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya)
Tirtha: Arkasthala
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee arrives at Arkasthala and beholds the Sūrya-sannidhi; in a symbolic vignette, the merit of gifting a hundred cows at Kurukṣetra is visually echoed—cows and a distant Kurukṣetra field appear as a faint, divine comparison.
Tīrtha-darśana at a highly sanctified place can bestow merit equal to great acts of charity performed at renowned pilgrimage centers.
Arkasthala in Prabhāsakṣetra.
No specific rite is mandated here; the emphasis is on darśana (sacred viewing) of Arkasthala as a merit-bestowing act.
