तच्छ्रुत्वा विबुधाः सर्वे कौतुकादेत्य सत्वरम् । वीक्षांचक्रुस्ततो गत्वा दृष्ट्वा मेध्यतमं पुरम्
tacchrutvā vibudhāḥ sarve kautukādetya satvaram | vīkṣāṃcakrustato gatvā dṛṣṭvā medhyatamaṃ puram
આ સાંભળી સર્વ દેવગણ કૌતુકથી ત્વરિત ત્યાં આવ્યા; અંદર જઈ તે અતિ પવિત્ર પુણ્યનગરને જોઈને સારી રીતે નિરીક્ષણ કર્યું।
Sūta (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Mahāsena-kṣetra (medhyatama-pura)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A procession of devas descends swiftly from the heavens, entering a radiant, spotless sacred city; they look around in amazement, surveying streets, ghats, and the towering temple.
A truly sacred place draws even the gods; its purity is recognized as inherently transformative and worthy of reverent ‘seeing’ (darśana).
The ‘medhyatama pura’—the supremely purifying city connected to the Mahāsena/Hāṭakeśvara kṣetra in this chapter.
No formal prescription; the act emphasized is devotional visitation and reverent viewing of the sacred city.
