तत्र स्नानं च दानं च चन्द्रहास्ये शुभशुभम् । कृतं नृपवरश्रेष्ठ सर्वं भवति चाक्षयम्
tatra snānaṃ ca dānaṃ ca candrahāsye śubhaśubham | kṛtaṃ nṛpavaraśreṣṭha sarvaṃ bhavati cākṣayam

Tirtha: Candrahāsya
Type: tirtha
Listener: A king (nṛpavara)
Scene: On the tīrtha bank, a kingly donor offers gifts to brāhmaṇas after bathing; a symbolic ‘endless’ stream of light rises from the water and gifts, signifying akṣaya results.
