किं त्वया न श्रुतं तत्र स्वदेशे वसता नृप । तस्य तीर्थस्य माहात्म्यं यत्त्वमत्र समागतः
kiṃ tvayā na śrutaṃ tatra svadeśe vasatā nṛpa | tasya tīrthasya māhātmyaṃ yattvamatra samāgataḥ
હે નૃપ! સ્વદેશમાં વસતા હોવા છતાં શું તું તે તીર્થનું માહાત્મ્ય સાંભળ્યું નહોતું, તેથી જ તું અહીં આવ્યો છે?
Nārada (implied)
Tirtha: Śaṅkhatīrtha
Type: kshetra
Listener: The King (Siddhasena)
Scene: A sage addresses a king who has arrived at the holy place; the king’s travel-weariness contrasts with his eager, reverent attention as the sage asks why he had not heard earlier.
Hearing (śravaṇa) the glory of a tīrtha naturally inspires pilgrimage, showing how sacred narratives guide dharmic action.
The reference is to the māhātmya of Śaṃkhatīrtha and its presiding deity.
No direct prescription; it highlights śravaṇa (hearing) and yātrā (arrival/pilgrimage) as the devotional flow.
