अपि कीटपतंगा ये पक्षिणः पशवो मृगाः । तृषार्ता जलसंस्पर्शाद्यास्यंति परमां गतिम्
api kīṭapataṃgā ye pakṣiṇaḥ paśavo mṛgāḥ | tṛṣārtā jalasaṃsparśādyāsyaṃti paramāṃ gatim
કીટ-પતંગ, પક્ષી, પશુ અને મૃગ પણ—તરસથી વ્યાકુળ હોય ત્યારે—આ જળનો માત્ર સ્પર્શ કરતાં જ પરમ ગતિને પામશે।

Type: ghat
Scene: A drought-weary scene: animals and birds gather at a sacred water-edge; insects hover; as they touch the water, a subtle radiance rises, suggesting purification and ascent; pilgrims watch with awe.
A supremely holy place radiates grace so widely that even accidental contact can uplift living beings.
The water of the Devikā-taṭa/Mūlasthāna tīrtha within Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
None; it declares the extraordinary sanctity of the tīrtha-water itself.
