Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
Devanagari script
पिता पितामहश्नैव सर्वे च प्रपितामहा: । पितामहपुरोगाश्च देवा: सर्षिगणा नृूप
Transliteration
pitā pitāmahaś caiva sarve ca prapitāmahāḥ | pitāmahapurogāś ca devāḥ sarṣigaṇā nṛpa ||
Translation
Pulastya said: “O king, your father, your grandfather, and all your great-grandfathers—as well as the gods accompanied by hosts of seers, with the grandsire at their head—(are witnesses/participants in this matter).” The verse underscores the moral weight of lineage and the oversight of divine and sage authority, implying that one’s conduct is measured not only by personal desire but by ancestral duty and cosmic order.
