अगस्त्य उवाच । अहो महदथाश्चर्य्यं विस्मयो मुनिसत्तम । दृष्ट्वा प्रभावं मेऽद्याभूदयोध्यायास्तपोधन
agastya uvāca | aho mahadathāścaryyaṃ vismayo munisattama | dṛṣṭvā prabhāvaṃ me'dyābhūdayodhyāyāstapodhana
ଅଗସ୍ତ୍ୟ କହିଲେ—ହେ ମୁନିଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ, ଏହା ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ମହା ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ! ହେ ତପୋଧନ, ଆଜି ଅଯୋଧ୍ୟାର ପ୍ରଭାବ ଦେଖି ମୋ ମନେ ବିସ୍ମୟ ଜନ୍ମିଛି।
Agastya
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka-group (implied)
Scene: Agastya responds with exclamation—marveling at Ayodhyā’s power; his face shows astonishment and devotional awe as he addresses Vyāsa, the great ascetic.
Direct encounter with a holy place can awaken profound wonder that becomes the doorway to deeper inquiry and devotion.
Ayodhyā—praised for its extraordinary spiritual majesty (prabhāva).
None explicitly; the verse sets the devotional mood before details of pilgrimage practices are requested.
