एतत्तीर्थं महातीर्थं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् । श्रमापनोदनं विष्णोर्ब्रह्महत्यादिशोधनम्
etattīrthaṃ mahātīrthaṃ sarvapāpapraṇāśanam | śramāpanodanaṃ viṣṇorbrahmahatyādiśodhanam
આ તીર્થ મહાતીર્થ છે, સર્વ પાપોનો નાશ કરનારું છે; તે શ્રમ પણ દૂર કરે છે. વિષ્ણુથી પાવન થયેલું આ તીર્થ બ્રહ્મહત્યા વગેરે મહાદોષોનું પણ શુદ્ધિકરણ કરે છે.
Narrator (within the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya frame)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa tīrtha (within Prabhāsakṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim reaches a luminous ford in Prabhāsa, lays down travel burdens, and steps into sanctifying waters; the atmosphere suggests both physical relief and inner absolution, with Viṣṇu’s unseen blessing pervading the shore.
A tīrtha is not merely geographic; it is a dharmic power-center where sincere approach and sacred contact bring purification, even from heavy karmic burdens.
A “mahātīrtha” within Prabhāsa-kṣetra, presented as especially connected with Viṣṇu and renowned for universal sin-destruction.
Implicitly, tīrtha-sevā such as snāna and reverent approach, since the verse praises the tīrtha as a purifier and fatigue-remover.
