यत्र सिद्धा महात्मानो मुनयः पितरस्तथा । स्वर्गं प्रयांति ते सर्वे स्वर्गद्वारं ततः स्मृतम्
yatra siddhā mahātmāno munayaḥ pitarastathā | svargaṃ prayāṃti te sarve svargadvāraṃ tataḥ smṛtam
ਜਿੱਥੇ ਸਿੱਧ ਪੁਰਖ, ਮਹਾਤਮਾ ਮੁਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਪਿਤਰ ਭੀ ਸਭੇ ਸਵਰਗ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ—ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉਹ ਸਥਾਨ ‘ਸਵਰਗਦ੍ਵਾਰ’ ਅਰਥਾਤ ਸਵਰਗ ਦਾ ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ਾ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa narrative voice)
Tirtha: Svargadvāra (Ayodhyā)
Type: ghat
Scene: A luminous gateway-like aura over a Sarayū ghāṭa; siddhas and sages in subtle bodies ascend skyward; pitṛs receive offerings and rise toward svarga.
A tīrtha is defined by its transformative power—where even exalted beings attain higher worlds, the site becomes a spiritual ‘gateway’ for all.
Svargadvāra in Ayodhyā, characterized as the place enabling ascent to Svarga for siddhas, sages, and ancestors.
No single rite is commanded here; the verse provides the etymological/functional praise defining the tīrtha as Svargadvāra.
