यथा धर्ममवाप्नोति अन्यत्र न तथा क्वचित् । दानं व्रतं तथा होमः सर्वमक्षयतां व्रजेत
yathā dharmamavāpnoti anyatra na tathā kvacit | dānaṃ vrataṃ tathā homaḥ sarvamakṣayatāṃ vrajeta
જેમ અહીં ધર્મની પ્રાપ્તિ થાય છે, તેમ અન્યત્ર ક્યાંય થતી નથી. અહીં કરેલું દાન, વ્રત અને હોમ—બધું જ અક્ષય પુણ્યરૂપ બને છે.
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa discourse style)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims in Ayodhyā performing dāna to brāhmaṇas, observing vrata, and conducting homa; a luminous ‘akṣaya’ aura rises like an unending stream of light from the offerings.
Acts of Dharma gain special potency at Ayodhyā, becoming akṣaya (imperishable) in spiritual merit.
Ayodhyā is praised as a uniquely merit-bestowing sacred kṣetra in the Ayodhyāmāhātmya.
It highlights dāna (charity), vrata (vows), and homa (fire-offerings) as especially fruitful when done there.
