Service to the deity performed with the right intention transforms the devotee; the ritual’s ‘cooling’ becomes inner śānti.
The chapter is within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya; this verse emphasizes the benefit (śānti) rather than naming the tīrtha.
The promised result of continuous water-dripping/abhiṣeka: as the deity/image is cooled, the devotee’s burning affliction subsides continuously.
