Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
Devanagari script
यस्य हस्तौ च पादौ च मनश्लैव सुसंयतम् | विद्या तपश्च कीर्तिश्व॒ स तीर्थफलमश्चुते,जिसके हाथ, पैर और मन अपने काबूमें हों तथा जो विद्या, तप और कीर्तिसे सम्पन्न हो, वही तीर्थसेवनका फल पाता है
Transliteration
yasya hastau ca pādau ca manaś caiva susaṁyatam | vidyā tapaś ca kīrtiś ca sa tīrthaphalam aśnute ||
Translation
He alone truly gains the fruit of pilgrimage whose hands and feet are restrained from wrongdoing and whose mind is well-controlled—one who is endowed with learning, austerity, and good repute. The teaching shifts the value of tīrtha from mere travel to inner discipline and ethical conduct.
