ततो नारायणेनेह क्षालितं गात्रसुत्तमम् । क्षालनात्तस्य देवस्य श्रमो नाशमुपागमत्
tato nārāyaṇeneha kṣālitaṃ gātrasuttamam | kṣālanāttasya devasya śramo nāśamupāgamat
Alors Nārāyaṇa s’y baigna et lava son corps excellent. Par cette ablution, la fatigue de ce dieu fut anéantie.
Narrator
Tirtha: Taptodakuṇḍa
Type: kund
Listener: Kṛṣṇa
Scene: Nārāyaṇa steps into the steaming kund, water beading on his radiant form; attendants and sages watch as the divine fatigue dissolves, the air filled with warm mist and sanctity.
Sacred bathing is shown as both physical relief and spiritual purification—validated by the gods’ own participation.
Taptodakuṇḍa at Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
Snāna/cleansing in the tīrtha waters is highlighted as the key act yielding immediate benefit (śrama-nāśa).
