कोटीतीर्थे परां सिद्धिं सम्प्राप्ताः सर्वतोषणात् । तेन तत्पुण्यमतुलं सर्वतीर्थेषु चोत्तमम्
koṭītīrthe parāṃ siddhiṃ samprāptāḥ sarvatoṣaṇāt | tena tatpuṇyamatulaṃ sarvatīrtheṣu cottamam
No Koṭī Tīrtha alcançaram a siddhi suprema pela plena satisfação (do Senhor por meio do culto). Por isso, o mérito desse lugar é incomparável e, de fato, o mais elevado entre todos os tīrthas.
Mārkaṇḍeya (continued)
Tirtha: Koṭī-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: King
Scene: A radiant Koṭī-tīrtha: worshippers complete pūjā and are shown receiving ‘siddhi’—aura-like luminosity, serene faces, and symbolic ascent; inscriptions or attendants proclaim the tīrtha as supreme.
True attainment (siddhi) arises from wholehearted worship that pleases the deity; such tīrthas become spiritually unrivaled.
Koṭī Tīrtha (closely tied to Koṭīśvara) in the Narmadā region.
Not a step-by-step rite; it stresses the principle of sarvatoṣaṇa—worship that fully pleases the Lord.
