Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
मयूरहंससंयुक्तं विमानं लभते नर: । तदनन्तर वेणा नदीके तटपर जाकर तीन रात उपवास करनेवाला मनुष्य (मृत्युके पश्चात) मोर और हंसोंसे जुता हुआ विमानको प्राप्त करता है
mayūrahamsasaṁyuktaṁ vimānaṁ labhate naraḥ |
プラースティヤは言った。「人は孔雀と白鳥に繋がれた天上の飛車（ヴィマーナ）を得る。これは、ヴェーナー川の岸で三夜の断食を修し終えた者が、死後に受ける報いとして説かれている。すなわち『マハーバーラタ』が示すとおり、信をもって戒誓と聖なる行を守れば、死を越えて吉祥の果が結ばれるのである。」
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined religious observance—specifically fasting as a vow at a sacred riverbank—produces tangible spiritual merit, described here as a glorious posthumous reward (a celestial vimāna).
Pulastya is enumerating the fruits of tīrtha-related vows. Here he states that one who performs a three-night fast on the bank of the Veṇā river attains, after death, a divine aerial car yoked with peacocks and swans.
