ໂອ ຜູ້ເປັນມງຄົດ, ໂອ ນາງໜ້າງາມ—ເນື່ອງຈາກຄວາມຮັກຕໍ່ເຈົ້າ ຂ້າຈຶ່ງກ່າວຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ: ມີທີ່ທິຣຖະອັນສັກສິດ 68 ບ່ອນ ທີ່ມະນຸດຄວນໄປເຖິງດ້ວຍພັກຕິ।
Śiva (deduced)
Tirtha: Aṣṭaṣaṣṭi-tīrtha-samuccaya (set of 68 tīrthas)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (addressed as bhadrā/varānanā)
Scene: A map-like narrative tableau: Devī receiving a revealed list; in the background, a procession of pilgrims moving from shrine to shrine, suggesting a chain of 68 sacred stops.
Pilgrimage is framed as a devotional discipline: holy places yield their fruit when approached with bhakti, not mere travel.
The verse highlights the canonical set of sixty-eight tīrthas as a whole; individual sites are named in subsequent verses.
Devotional visitation (bhaktyā pragamyāni)—the instruction is to undertake tīrtha-yātrā with devotion.
