kathitaṃ kanyayā yacca tatsarvaṃ pustikākṛtam | āgato'haṃ nṛpaśreṣṭha tīrthe'tra duritāpahe
ಕನ್ಯೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ನಾನು ಒಂದು ಪುಸ್ತಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದುಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಹೇ ನೃಪಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ, ಪಾಪಹರವಾದ ಈ ತೀರ್ಥಕ್ಕೆ ನಾನು ಬಂದಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
Narrator/character speaking to the king (nṛpaśreṣṭha)
Tirtha: Duritāpaha tīrtha (within Revā context; specific name not given)
Type: tirtha
Listener: nṛpaśreṣṭha (best of kings)
Scene: A pilgrim-scholar shows a small booklet of notes, explaining to a king that he wrote down a maiden’s instructions and has now arrived at the sin-destroying tīrtha.
Sacred teachings are preserved and acted upon: hearing (śravaṇa) and faithfully following tīrtha-instructions leads one to sin-removing holy places.
A local “duritāpaha” tīrtha in the Revā Khaṇḍa setting (contextually near Hanūmanteśvara).
No new rite is prescribed here; it emphasizes recording and following the previously given tīrtha-vidhi.
