Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
तत्रोपस्पृश्य राजेन्द्र पितृदेवार्चने रत: । नियतात्मा नर: पूतो गच्छेत परमां गतिम्,राजेन्द्र! उसमें स्नान करके देवताओं और पितरोंके पूजनमें तत्पर रहनेवाला जितात्मा पुरुष पवित्र हो परमगतिको प्राप्त होता है
tatropaspṛśya rājendra pitṛdevārcane rataḥ | niyatātmā naraḥ pūto gacchet paramāṃ gatim ||
王よ、そこで沐浴し、ついで神々と祖霊（ピトリ）への供養に励み、心をよく律する者は清められ、最高の境地に到る。

Educational Q&A
Purification is not merely physical bathing; when joined with disciplined self-control and sincere worship of devas and pitṛs, it becomes a dharmic practice that leads toward the highest spiritual attainment.
Pulastya addresses a king and describes the merit of bathing at a sacred place and then performing worship of gods and ancestors; he states that such a restrained, devoted person becomes purified and reaches the supreme goal.
