It teaches that tīrthas function as purposeful spiritual “crossings”: the fruit aligns with the seeker’s intention—svarga for the svarga-seeker and mokṣa for the mokṣa-seeker—highlighting the role of saṅkalpa (aim) in religious practice.
While it speaks broadly of tīrtha-phala, it implies that inner orientation matters: when pilgrimage is undertaken with a liberation-oriented heart (often expressed through devotion and surrender), the practice supports mokṣa rather than merely worldly or heavenly enjoyment.
The verse points to ritual intentionality (saṅkalpa) and phala-niyama (result according to aim), a practical principle used in kalpa/ritual procedure: the same act (tīrtha-yātrā) yields different outcomes depending on the declared purpose and discipline.
