Brāhmaṇya-प्रश्नः — The Inquiry into Attaining Brāhmaṇya
Mataṅga–Gardabhī Itihāsa
समागच्छन्ति माध्यां तु प्रयागे भरतर्षभ । भरतश्रेष्ठ! षष्टिहदद नामक तीर्थमें स्नान करनेसे अन्नदानसे भी अधिक फल प्राप्त होता है। माघ-मासकी अमावास्याको प्रयागराजमें तीन करोड़ दस हजार अन्य तीर्थोंका समागम होता है
samāgacchanti māghyāṁ tu prayāge bharatarṣabha | bharataśreṣṭha ṣaṣṭihada-nāmaka-tīrthe snānena anna-dānād api adhikaṁ phalaṁ prāpyate | māgha-māsasya amāvāsyāyāṁ prayāgarāje trīṇi koṭi daśa-sahasrāṇi anyatīrthāni samāgamaṁ bhavanti |
アジャドリヤは言った。「バーラタ族の雄牛よ、マ―ガ月のプラヤーガには聖なる流れが合流する。バーラタ族の最勝者よ、『シャシュティハダ』（Ṣaṣṭihada）と呼ばれる聖なる渡しで沐浴すれば、施食の功徳にも勝る果報を得る。マ―ガ月の新月日、プラヤーガラージャには、他のティールタが三クロールと一万、そこに集うと言われる。」

Educational Q&A
The passage teaches that certain times and places—especially Māgha-amāvāsyā at Prayāga—are regarded as exceptionally potent for dharmic practice, where a single act like sacred bathing can be credited with merit surpassing even major charities such as feeding others.
Ajaḍriya is describing the greatness of Prayāga: during Māgha, many tīrthas are believed to converge there, and bathing at the specific ford called Ṣaṣṭihada on Māgha-amāvāsyā is praised as yielding extraordinary spiritual results.
