मनीषिणं विभुं दृष्ट्वा मनसा चिंतितं लभेत् । गत्वा मधुवनं चैव देव्यास्तीर्थे नरः शुचिः ॥ ८३ ॥

ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನಾದ ಮಣೀಷಿ ಋಷಿಯನ್ನು ದರ್ಶಿಸಿದರೆ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬಯಸಿದುದನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಮಧುವನಕ್ಕೂ ದೇವಿಯ ತೀರ್ಥಕ್ಕೂ ಹೋಗಿ ಶುದ್ಧನಾದ ನರನು ಇಷ್ಟಫಲವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದುತ್ತಾನೆ.

It teaches that darśana (sacred beholding) of a supremely powerful holy presence and pilgrimage to Devī’s tīrtha at Madhuvana purify the seeker and help manifest the intended spiritual or worldly fruit.
Bhakti is expressed through darśana, tīrtha-yātrā, and inner sankalpa (heartfelt intention). The verse links outward devotional acts—visiting Madhuvana and Devī’s tīrtha—with inward faith and desire directed toward the sacred.
The verse emphasizes shauca (purity) and tīrtha-vidhi as practical dharmic observances—ritual cleanliness, right intention (saṅkalpa), and pilgrimage discipline—rather than a technical Vedāṅga like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa.
