Ārṣṭiṣeṇa’s Siddhi and the Tīrtha-Boons; Sindhudvīpa–Devāpi Brāhmaṇya; Viśvāmitra’s Tapas Begins

सर्वपापप्रशमन सिद्धिक्षेत्रमनुत्तमम्‌ । विप्रवर! उन्होंने मुनियोंके मुखसे यह महत्त्वपूर्ण बात सुनी कि “सरस्वतीका श्रेष्ठ तीर्थ जो औशनस नामसे विख्यात है, सम्पूर्ण पापोंको नष्ट करनेवाला तथा परम उत्तम सिक्िकक्षेत्र है'

sarvapāpapraśamanaṃ siddhikṣetram anuttamam | vipravara! te munīnāṃ mukhāt etad mahattvaṃ śrutvā idaṃ prāhuḥ—“sarasvatyāḥ śreṣṭhaṃ tīrthaṃ yad auśanasa-nāmnā vikhyātaṃ, tat sarvapāpān nāśayati, paramam uttamaṃ ca siddhikṣetram” iti |

વૈશમ્પાયન બોલ્યા—હે વિપ્રવર! તેમણે મુનિઓના મુખેથી આ ગૌરવભર્યું સત્ય સાંભળ્યું—‘સરಸ್ವતીમાં “ઔશનસ” નામે વિખ્યાત એક શ્રેષ્ઠ તીર્થ છે; તે સર્વ પાપોનું શમન કરનારું અને સિદ્ધિપ્રાપ્તિ માટે અનન્ય ક્ષેત્ર છે.’

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that certain tīrthas, validated by the testimony of sages, are regarded as powerful means of moral purification (removal of pāpa) and as supportive environments for spiritual accomplishment (siddhi). Ethical renewal is linked to reverence, right guidance, and disciplined approach to sacred practice.

Vaiśampāyana reports a tradition heard from sages: a particular sacred ford on the Sarasvatī, called Auśanasa, is celebrated as supremely efficacious—capable of destroying sins and serving as an unsurpassed ‘field’ for attaining spiritual success.
