जरत्कारुकृतं तीर्थं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् । स्नात्वा तत्र द्विजश्रेष्ठा न दुर्गतिमवाप्नुयात्
jaratkārukṛtaṃ tīrthaṃ sarvapāpapraṇāśanam | snātvā tatra dvijaśreṣṭhā na durgatimavāpnuyāt

Scene: A secluded coastal/riverine ford marked by a simple stone tīrtha-sign; a brāhmaṇa pilgrim performs snāna while recalling ṛṣi Jaratkāru; the atmosphere suggests hidden sanctity and moral cleansing.
Sin is not treated as permanent; dharmic acts like tīrtha-snāna are upheld as effective means of moral-spiritual restoration.
The tīrtha founded by the sage Jaratkāru in the Dvārakā region.
