The Efficacy and Merit of Cakra-tīrtha
नित्यं च भुञ्जते यत्र पात्रं द्रव्यसमर्पितम् ॥ दृष्ट्वा भद्रेश्वरं देवं चक्रतीर्थे फलं लभेत् ॥
nityaṃ ca bhuñjate yatra pātraṃ dravya-samarpitam || dṛṣṭvā bhadreśvaraṃ devaṃ cakratīrthe phalaṃ labhet ||
എവിടെ നിത്യവും അർപ്പിച്ച ദ്രവ്യത്തോടുകൂടി യോജ്യമായ പാത്രത്തിൽ ആഹാരം കഴിക്കപ്പെടുന്നുവോ—ചക്രതീർത്ഥത്തിൽ ഭദ്രേശ്വര ദേവനെ ദർശിച്ചാൽ ഫലം (പുണ്യം) ലഭിക്കുന്നു.

FAQs
It exemplifies the Purāṇic tīrtha-māhātmya genre, where sacred places are catalogued with concise statements of religious ‘fruit’ (phala) tied to seeing (darśana) or visiting specific sites.
Cakratīrtha is named; the verse preserves an ancient toponym for a pilgrimage-water/ford site, though a single fragment does not securely fix a modern identification without corroborating manuscript or regional tīrtha lists.
The passage foregrounds proper offering and disciplined giving/consumption practices (samarpita-dravya, pātra), linking ethical ritual order with the cultural practice of pilgrimage.
