brahmovāca | etanmahāpadaṃ ramyaṃ sarvapātakanāśanam | spṛśaṃtu ṛṣayaḥ sarve tato yāsyatha sadgatim
梵天は言われた。「この麗しき大足跡(マハーパダ)は一切の罪を滅する。すべてのリシたちはこれに触れよ。しかる後、汝らは善趣(サドガティ)という良き到達処に至るであろう。」
Brahmā
Tirtha: Mahāpada
Type: peak
Listener: All sages (munayaḥ)
Scene: Brahmā points toward a luminous footprint-like mark on stone; sages rise and extend their hands to touch it with reverence, light radiating from the imprint.
A sanctified locus (mahāpada) can serve as a direct channel of purification and uplift when approached in the right spirit.
Mahāpada—described as a sin-destroying sacred mark/footprint in the Arbuda region.
A simple act is prescribed: touch (spṛś-) the Mahāpada to gain purification and sadgati.
