Prayaga-mahatmya
Glory of Prayaga and the Magha Bath at Triveni
रममाणा तु कैलासे गिरिजायाः प्रिया सखी । जातिस्मरा तथा जाता प्रयागस्य प्रसादतः ॥ ७९ ॥
ramamāṇā tu kailāse girijāyāḥ priyā sakhī | jātismarā tathā jātā prayāgasya prasādataḥ || 79 ||
カイラーサにて戯れていたとき、ギリジャー(パールヴァティー)の愛しき友もまた、プラヤーガの恩寵により前世を想起する者となった。

It teaches that Prayāga is not merely a physical confluence but a spiritually potent tīrtha whose prasāda can awaken higher remembrance (jāti-smara), indicating purification of mind and continuity of karma across births.
By attributing transformation to Prayāga’s “prasāda,” the verse emphasizes grace (anugraha) as a catalyst for inner awakening—an idea aligned with Bhakti where sacred places, worship, and divine favor refine consciousness.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is tīrtha-yātrā-dharma—undertaking pilgrimage with faith, purity, and right intention to receive spiritual benefit.
