ସାବିତ୍ରୀ ଓ ତିଳ—ଏହି ଦୁଇଟି ସମସ୍ତ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟାର୍ଥ ସାଧକ ବୋଲି କୁହାଯାଇଛି। ବିଶେଷକରି ଚାତୁର୍ମାସ୍ୟରେ ତିଳଦ୍ୱାରା ତର୍ପଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ।
Unspecified (Tīrthamāhātmya narrator within Nāgarakhaṇḍa; likely a Purāṇic narrator addressing a listener)
Scene: At dawn by a river/kuṇḍa, a pilgrim performs tarpaṇa: water streams through fingers with sesame floating, while silently reciting Sāvitrī.
Right-time ritual (kāla) and right-substance (dravya) together make worship and ancestral rites especially efficacious.
No particular tīrtha is named; the emphasis is on Cāturmāsya-time observance within a tīrtha-mahātmya chapter.
Perform tarpaṇa using sesame, with special emphasis during Cāturmāsya.
