तस्मादत्र विधानेन स्नानं दानं च शक्तितः । कर्त्तव्यं श्रद्धया युक्तैः सर्वदा फलकांक्षिभिः
tasmādatra vidhānena snānaṃ dānaṃ ca śaktitaḥ | karttavyaṃ śraddhayā yuktaiḥ sarvadā phalakāṃkṣibhiḥ
C’est pourquoi, ici, il faut accomplir selon la règle le bain sacré et aussi l’aumône, selon sa capacité ; toujours avec foi, pour ceux qui désirent le fruit spirituel.
Lomaśa (continued)
Tirtha: Ṛṇamocana-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Scene: After bathing, pilgrims distribute alms—cloth, food, coins—to brāhmaṇas, ascetics, and the poor on the ghat; Lomaśa instructs on proper procedure; atmosphere of orderly devotion.
Pilgrimage bears fullest fruit when joined with śraddhā and generosity—inner faith expressed through outward dāna.
The instruction pertains to Ṛṇamocana Tīrtha in Ayodhyā.
Perform snāna and dāna according to proper procedure (vidhi) and one’s means (śaktitaḥ).
