मोक्षदानि न सर्वत्र शुक्लतीर्थमृते नृप । शुक्लतीर्थस्य माहात्म्यं पुराणे यच्छ्रुतं मया
mokṣadāni na sarvatra śuklatīrthamṛte nṛpa | śuklatīrthasya māhātmyaṃ purāṇe yacchrutaṃ mayā
Wahai raja, tīrtha yang menganugerahkan mokṣa tidak terdapat di semua tempat—melainkan di Śukla-tīrtha. Kebesaran Śukla-tīrtha inilah yang telah aku dengar dalam Purāṇa.
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Śukla-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya asserts the rarity of mokṣa-giving sites, pointing toward the radiant Śukla-tīrtha; a subtle iconography of liberation—open sky, ascending light—frames the riverbank.
Some tīrthas are uniquely potent for mokṣa, and their authority is grounded in Purāṇic transmission.
Śuklatīrtha, highlighted as exceptionally connected with liberation.
No specific rite is stated here; the verse emphasizes the tīrtha’s mokṣa-giving status and Purāṇic endorsement.
