GandharvasFAQs
Right worship at a tīrtha yields exalted spiritual fruition, depicted as ascent to Rudra’s divine realm.
The fruit is connected to the preceding rite at Śikhitīrtha in the Revā Khaṇḍa.
No new rite is added here; it states the phala (result) of the previously described snāna, tarpaṇa, dāna, and Śiva-pūjā.
