वित्तं न्यायार्जितं दत्तं स्वल्पं तत्र महाफलम् । स्नानेनापि हि तत्तीर्थे रुद्रस्यानुचरो भवेत्
vittaṃ nyāyārjitaṃ dattaṃ svalpaṃ tatra mahāphalam | snānenāpi hi tattīrthe rudrasyānucaro bhavet
Harta yang diperoleh dengan cara dharma, walau sedikit bila didermakan di sana, berbuah besar. Bahkan dengan mandi di tīrtha itu, seseorang menjadi pengikut (anucara) Rudra.
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya tīrtha (unspecified)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim bathes at a sacred ford, then offers a small but pure donation to a priest/poor person; behind, a subtle vision of Rudra/Śiva indicates the ‘anucara’ blessing.
Purity of means and sacred context magnify merit; tīrtha-snāna and righteous charity align one with Rudra’s path.
A Rudra-associated tīrtha within the Dharmāraṇya circuit (the chapter’s described pilgrimage landscape).
Give even small charity from honestly earned wealth, and perform snāna in the specified tīrtha.
