nagaryo muktidāyinyastāḥ śrutāstvatprasādataḥ | brahmaviṣṇuśivādīnāṃ sūryeṃduvaruṇasya ca
E, por tua graça, ouvi falar dessas cidades que concedem a libertação; e das moradas sagradas associadas a Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva e outros, bem como a Sūrya, à Lua e a Varuṇa.
Pārvatī
Tirtha: Mukti-nagarī (generic category)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A disciple addresses a revered teacher, envisioning a mandala of sacred cities around the cosmic deities—Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, Sūrya, Candra, Varuṇa—each with its emblem and shrine.
Divine grace (prasāda) opens knowledge of mokṣa-oriented sacred cities and deity-linked abodes, directing the seeker toward liberation.
The verse is comparative and panoramic; it frames renowned mokṣa-cities and deva-sthānas before focusing on Vastrāpatha’s special greatness.
No specific rite is mentioned; the emphasis is on hearing/knowing (śravaṇa) the māhātmya of sacred places.
