Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
ऋषीणां यत्र सत्राणि समाप्तानि नराधिप । तत्रावसानमासाद्य गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्,नरेश्वर! जहाँ ऋषियोंके सत्र समाप्त हुए हैं, वहाँ अवसानतीर्थमें जाकर मनुष्य सहस्र गोदानका फल पाता है
ṛṣīṇāṃ yatra satrāṇi samāptāni narādhipa | tatra avasānam āsādya go-sahasra-phalaṃ labhet ||
グーラスティヤは言った。「王よ、仙人たちの長き供犠の会が成就して終わったその地において、『アヴァサーナ』と呼ばれる聖なる渡し場に赴き到った者は、千頭の牛を施すに等しい功徳を得る。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that sacred places associated with the completion of great Vedic rites carry enduring spiritual potency; visiting such a tīrtha with reverence yields merit comparable to major acts of charity (here, the gift of a thousand cows).
A speaker named Ghūlastya addresses a king and describes the spiritual reward of going to the tīrtha called Avasāna, identified as the site where sages completed their sattra-sacrifices.
