तिलोदकं च यद्दत्त तत्स्थले पितृभक्तितः । तत्सर्वमक्षयं प्रोक्तं गोमत्यां स्नानपूर्वकम्
tilodakaṃ ca yaddatta tatsthale pitṛbhaktitaḥ | tatsarvamakṣayaṃ proktaṃ gomatyāṃ snānapūrvakam
その地において祖霊(ピトリ)への敬虔なる信をもって捧げられる胡麻水の供養(ティローダカ)は、ゴーマティーにて先に沐浴して行えば、その功徳の果は尽きることなく不滅であると説かれる。
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Gomatī (Dvārakā)
Type: ghat
Scene: At Gomati Ghat, a devotee emerges from ritual bath, then offers tilodaka with cupped hands facing the water; pitṛs appear subtly in the background as luminous ancestral forms receiving the offering; priests hold darbha and water pots.
Pitṛ-devotion performed with purity (snāna) at a powerful tīrtha becomes akṣaya—its merit is said to be inexhaustible.
The Gomatī tīrtha associated with Dvārakā is highlighted as especially efficacious for ancestral offerings.
Bathe in the Gomatī first (snāna-pūrvaka), then offer tilodaka (sesame-water) to the Pitṛs with devotion.
