Chapter 82
अथ पउज्चनदं गत्वा नियतो नियताशन: । पज्चयज्ञानवाप्रोति क्रमशो येडनुकीर्तिता:,तदनन्तर शौच-संतोष आदि नियमोंका पालन और नियमित भोजन करते हुए पंचनदतीर्थमें जाकर मनुष्य पंचमहायज्ञोंका फल पाता है जो कि शास्त्रोंमें क्रमश: बतलाये गये हैं
atha pañcanadaṃ gatvā niyato niyatāśanaḥ | pañcayajñān avāpnoti kramaśo ye ’nukīrtitāḥ ||
Então, indo ao vau sagrado de Pañcanada, disciplinado na conduta e comedidamente restrito na alimentação, o homem alcança o mérito dos cinco grandes sacrifícios—aqueles que as escrituras enumeram na devida ordem. A passagem ressalta que a pureza, o contentamento e outras observâncias, juntamente com um viver regrado, tornam a peregrinação eticamente frutuosa, e não mera viagem física.

Educational Q&A
Pilgrimage yields its full spiritual and ethical fruit when joined to disciplined living—purity, contentment, and regulated conduct—so that one gains the merit associated with the five great daily duties (pañcamahāyajña) as taught in scripture.
The speaker describes the result of going to the Pañcanada sacred place while observing restraints and a regulated diet: the pilgrim is said to obtain the merit of the five great sacrifices, in the order traditionally taught.
