तुष्टिः पुष्टिर्वपुः प्रीतिः स्वधा स्वाहा विभावरी । रतिः प्रीतिः क्षितिर्गंगा सत्यं धर्मो मनस्विनी
tuṣṭiḥ puṣṭirvapuḥ prītiḥ svadhā svāhā vibhāvarī | ratiḥ prītiḥ kṣitirgaṃgā satyaṃ dharmo manasvinī
おお主宰の女神よ、汝は満足と滋養、汝は姿の美と愛。汝はスヴァダー(祖霊への供物)とスヴァーハー(神々への供物)、また夜である。汝は歓喜と慈愛、汝は大地とガンガー。汝は真実とダルマ、そして堅固にして識別する心の力。
A king (bhūbhuj) praising Goddess Sarasvatī (deduced from immediate context; Sarasvatī speaks in 34)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (as Devī-form)
Type: river
Scene: The Goddess is envisioned as a composite of nourishment, love, sacrificial fire-offerings (svāhā), ancestral offerings (svadhā), night, earth, and the flowing Gaṅgā—standing as a radiant sovereign while a river glimmers behind.
The Goddess is praised as the very substance of virtue and auspicious powers—truth, dharma, purity, and sacred rites—so devotion to her aligns one’s life with righteous order.
The verse occurs within the Nāgara Khaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya; this line itself functions as a universal Devī-praise rather than naming a single tīrtha explicitly.
No direct ritual act is prescribed in this verse; it is a stotra-style identification of the Goddess with sacrificial formulas (svadhā/svāhā), implying her presence in yajña and ancestral rites.
