Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: ghat
Scene: A pilgrim on the seashore/ghāṭa cleans garments, then kneels in a clean sandy spot to gather sacred clay while silently invoking an astra-mantra; ritual vessels and folded cloth are neatly arranged.
Sacred bathing is a complete discipline: purity of clothing, place, and mantra-protected action supports the sanctity of the rite.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where bathing rites are described with mantra-based safeguards.
Clean garments first; then bathe, collecting cleansing clay (mṛttikā) in a pure place while using the astra-mantra.
