Chatra–Upānah Dāna: Origin Narrative
Jamadagni–Reṇukā–Sūrya Saṃvāda
प्रययुस्ते ततो भूयस्तीर्थानि वनगोचरा: । पुण्येषु तीर्थेषु तथा गात्राण्याप्लावयन्त ते
prayayus te tato bhūyas tīrthāni vanagocarāḥ | puṇyeṣu tīrtheṣu tathā gātrāṇy āplāvayanta te ||
त्यानंतर ते वनवासी प्रवासी पुन्हा तीर्थांकडे निघाले. पवित्र तीर्थांती जाऊन जाऊन त्यांनी जलात डुबकी घेऊन स्नान केले आणि तीर्थयात्रेने स्वतःला शुद्ध केले.
