मार्गशीर्षस्य सप्तम्यां षष्ठ्यां वा रविवासरे । विधाय वार्षिकीं यात्रां नरः पापै प्रमुच्यते
mārgaśīrṣasya saptamyāṃ ṣaṣṭhyāṃ vā ravivāsare | vidhāya vārṣikīṃ yātrāṃ naraḥ pāpai pramucyate
માર્ગશીર્ષ માસની સપ્તમી—અથવા ષષ્ઠી—તિથિ જો રવિવાર હોય, તો વાર્ષિક યાત્રા કરવાથી મનુષ્ય પાપોથી મુક્ત થાય છે.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Lolārka-yātrā (annual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims in Mārgaśīrṣa gather at dawn on a Sunday; they proceed in an annual procession to Lolārka, carrying lamps and water vessels, preparing for darśana and purification.
Right timing joined with sincere pilgrimage in Kāśī becomes a potent means of purification.
The Lolārka-related annual yātrā within Kāśī’s sacred circuit (implied by the surrounding verses).
Perform the annual yātrā in Mārgaśīrṣa on the 6th or 7th tithi, specifically when it falls on a Sunday.
