Tirtha: Vṛṣa-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: A feminine interlocutor within the māhātmya frame
Scene: Arjuna, still bearing the aura of battle, stands at a riverbank tīrtha (Vṛṣa-tīrtha) offering water and prayers; a subtle presence of Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa as inner guide is suggested—either as a faint divine figure or symbolic chakra light.
Even heroic dharma-bound actions can leave karmic residue; tīrtha-based prāyaścitta restores inner purity and social-spiritual order.
Vṛṣa-tīrtha, located on the bank of Prācī within the Prabhāsa sacred landscape.
Prāyaścitta (expiatory observance) undertaken at the tīrtha, exemplified by Arjuna.
