धन्या सा मथुरा लोके यत्र जातो हरिः स्वयम् । द्वारका सफला लोके क्रीडितं यत्र विष्णुना
dhanyā sā mathurā loke yatra jāto hariḥ svayam | dvārakā saphalā loke krīḍitaṃ yatra viṣṇunā
Bendita é Mathurā no mundo, pois ali nasceu o próprio Hari. Plena e frutífera é Dvārakā no mundo, pois ali Viṣṇu realizou o seu līlā divino.
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Mathurā; Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Listener: King (bhūpa)
Scene: Two sacred vignettes: Mathurā as the blessed birthplace of Hari, and Dvārakā as the fulfilled city where Viṣṇu sports—temples, devotees, and Krishna’s presence implied through iconography.
Places sanctified by the Lord’s birth and līlā become enduring sources of blessing and spiritual fulfillment for devotees.
Mathurā (birthplace of Hari) and Dvārakā (scene of Viṣṇu’s divine sports).
None explicitly; the verse is a praise statement grounding pilgrimage devotion.
