Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
ऋषिभि: क्रतव:ः प्रोक्ता देवेष्विह यथाक्रमम् | फलं चैव यथातथ्यं प्रेत्य चेह च सर्वश:,ऋषियोंने देवताओंके उद्देश्यसे यथायोग्य यज्ञ बताये हैं और उन यज्ञोंका यथावत् फल भी बताया है, जो इहलोक और परलोकमें भी सर्वथा प्राप्त होता है
ṛṣibhiḥ kratavaḥ proktā deveṣv iha yathākramam | phalaṃ caiva yathātathyaṃ pretya ceha ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Ghūlastya disse: “Os rishis expuseram os ritos sacrificiais (yajña) na devida ordem, dirigindo-os aos deuses. E também declararam os resultados verdadeiros desses ritos — frutos obtidos infalivelmente, tanto neste mundo quanto, após a morte, no próximo.”

Educational Q&A
That the sages have authoritatively taught sacrificial duties in a proper order and have also clarified their real outcomes: actions (yajñas/ritual duties) yield definite fruits both in this life and after death, underscoring moral causality (karma-phala) and the reliability of dharmic instruction.
The speaker, Ghūlastya, is explaining the traditional Vedic framework: sages prescribe sacrifices aimed at the gods and specify the corresponding rewards, emphasizing that these results accrue comprehensively in both worldly and post-mortem contexts.
