तो पुत्र, पौत्र व धन यांनी युक्त होतो—यात संशय नाही. मेघांनी वेढलेली जंबू, विद्युत्सह आणि अशोकवृक्षानेही शोभते।

Tirtha: Jambū-vṛkṣa

FAQs
Pilgrimage devotion is framed as both spiritually potent and socially auspicious, yielding lineage and prosperity as secondary fruits.
A Jambū-centered sacred setting within the Tīrthamāhātmya is implied; this verse alone does not specify the named tīrtha.
The verse primarily states results (sons, wealth) and describes the sacred grove imagery rather than prescribing a new act.
