इस पानी का नाम मृगशृंगोदक है और रिशि लोग इस्से बहुत पसंद करते हैं। वहाँ जाके पहले पानी से अपने आप को साफ करो, फिर ध्यान लगाके भगवान का अभिषेक करो।

FAQs
It preserves a named hydro-toponym (Mṛgaśṛṅgodaka) and embeds it in a ritual protocol, valuable for reconstructing local sacred-water traditions and their textual legitimization.
Mṛgaśṛṅgodaka is identified as a specific sacred water source; the verse does not provide enough data for a definitive modern identification without external corroboration.
Ritual action should be preceded by purification and performed with mental concentration (samāhita).
