ຜູ້ໃດທີ່ຄວບຄຸມອິນທຣີຍະທັງສິບເອັດໄດ້ຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍ່ອມໄດ້ຮັບຜົນແຫ່ງຕີຣຖະ (tīrtha). ຄົນອື່ນໆ ມີແຕ່ເປັນຜູ້ຮ່ວມຮັບຄວາມລໍາບາກເທົ່ານັ້ນ.
Skanda (deduced: Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa Māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-tīrtha (within Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim sits in meditation near the Prabhāsa shore/ghāṭa, with eleven symbolic lotuses or subtle icons representing faculties being ‘reined in’; in contrast, other travelers appear weary, burdened by heat and dust, signifying mere hardship without restraint.
The real fruit of pilgrimage arises from inner restraint; without self-control, travel becomes mere exertion.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, presented as yielding tīrtha-phala when approached with disciplined conduct.
Not a single rite, but the essential discipline of restraining the ‘eleven’ faculties (indriyas) as prerequisite for merit.
