एवमुक्त्वाथ सा देवी समानीयौषधीभृतान् । हेमकुंभान्सुतीर्थांभः परिपूर्णान्महोदयान्
evamuktvātha sā devī samānīyauṣadhībhṛtān | hemakuṃbhānsutīrthāṃbhaḥ paripūrṇānmahodayān
असे बोलून देवीने औषधीधारकांना बोलावले आणि उत्तम तीर्थजलाने परिपूर्ण, अत्यंत शुभ व तेजस्वी सुवर्णकुंभ आणविले।
Narrator (contextual)
Tirtha: Su-tīrtha (excellent ford) supplying consecration water (name not specified in verse)
Type: ghat
Listener: null
Scene: The Goddess commands attendants carrying bundles of medicinal herbs; golden pitchers brim with shimmering tīrtha water, catching light; the scene is a ritual prelude filled with expectancy.
Sacred rites draw power from tīrtha-water and auspicious substances, expressing devotion through purity, fullness, and sanctified materials.
A “su-tīrtha” is referenced—an excellent sacred ford—without a proper name in this verse, reinforcing the sanctity of tīrtha-water itself.
Preparation for abhiṣeka: gathering auspicious vessels and tīrtha-water, along with herbal sanctifiers (auṣadhīs).
