tīrthe salilarājasya snātvā prayatamānasaḥ | trirātram uṣitaḥ snātaḥ tarpayet pitṛdevatāḥ ||
水の主ヴァルナ（Varuṇa）の聖なる渡し場で、慎み整えられた清浄の心をもって沐浴したなら、そこに三夜とどまるべきである。日ごとに沐浴し、神々と祖霊を満たすためにタルパナ（tarpana）の灌水供養を捧げよ。

Pilgrimage is not merely travel but a discipline: bathe with a restrained mind, remain for a prescribed period (three nights), and perform daily offerings that express reverence to gods and gratitude to ancestors—linking personal purification with social and cosmic obligations.
Ghūlastya describes a specific tīrtha-observance at Varuṇa’s sacred place (understood here as the sea): the pilgrim bathes, stays three nights, and each day performs tarpaṇa for the devas and the pitṛs as part of the tīrtha-vidhi.
