Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
उपस्पृष्टं भवेत् तेन सर्वतीर्थेषु भारत । भारत! जो सायंकाल और प्रातःकाल हाथ जोड़कर तीनों पुष्करोंका स्मरण करता है, उसने मानो सब तीर्थोंमें स्नान एवं आचमन कर लिया
upaspṛṣṭaṁ bhavet tena sarvatīrtheṣu bhārata | bhārata! yaḥ sāyaṁkāle ca prātaḥkāle ca karāñjalibaddhvā trīṇi puṣkarāṇi smarati, tena māno sarvatīrtheṣu snānam ācamanaṁ ca kṛtam ||
グーラースティヤは言った。「おおバーラタよ、その行いによって、人はあらゆるティールタ（聖なる渡し場）でアーチャマナ（ācamana、浄水を啜る清めの作法）を行い、沐浴したものと見なされる。黄昏と、さらに黎明に、合掌して敬い、三つのプシュカラ（Puṣkara）を憶念する者は、すべての聖地を巡礼した功徳を成就したとされるのだ。」

Educational Q&A
Sincere remembrance of a revered tīrtha—performed with reverence at the daily junctions of dawn and dusk—can confer the same purificatory merit as physically bathing and performing ācamana at many pilgrimage sites, emphasizing inner devotion and disciplined practice.
A speaker named Ghūlastya addresses a Bharata prince and praises the sanctity of the three Puṣkaras, stating that one who remembers them with folded hands at morning and evening is regarded as having completed the purifying rites associated with all tīrthas.
