हे पुण्य व पापहर क्षेत्र देवाने कीर्तिले आहे; आणि पितामह (ब्रह्मा) यांचा एक दिवस चतुर्युगांच्या सहस्र आवर्तनांचा मानला आहे।
Narrator (continuing the māhātmya exposition; deity earlier is Devadeva/Rudra)
Tirtha: Bhṛgukaccha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Janamejaya
Scene: A sacred landscape of Bhṛgukaccha is shown with a luminous aura; above it, a symbolic cosmic diagram of four yugas cycling into Brahmā’s day, linking the kṣetra to vast time.
A tīrtha’s sanctity is framed not only ethically (sin-destroying) but cosmically, linking sacred geography to Purāṇic time.
The same pāpa-hara kṣetra under discussion in Adhyāya 182—Bhṛgukaccha/Bhṛgutīrtha in Revā Khaṇḍa.
No direct ritual; it provides cosmological definition supporting the māhātmya’s authority.
