त्वं तु तत्र कृतावासः कृतपुण्यमहोच्चयः । उत्तरप्रवहा स्नान जातपिंगलमूर्धजः
tvaṃ tu tatra kṛtāvāsaḥ kṛtapuṇyamahoccayaḥ | uttarapravahā snāna jātapiṃgalamūrdhajaḥ
Mas tu, tendo ali residido e acumulado grande tesouro de mérito, ao banhar-te na Uttarapravāhā, fizeste tua cabeleira tornar-se fulva como sinal sagrado.
Skanda
Tirtha: Uttarapravāhā
Type: ghat
Listener: Agastya
Scene: Agastya (or the addressed pilgrim) stands at a sacred north-flowing/currented stretch, having bathed; his hair appears tawny-golden as an auspicious mark; Skanda praises him on the ghat.
Pilgrimage is validated by transformation: residence and tīrtha-bathing in Kāśī are portrayed as producing visible and invisible signs of accumulated merit.

Snāna (ritual bathing) at Uttarapravāhā, along with the merit of residing in the kṣetra.
