दिवाकरकरैः स्पृष्टं तमो यद्वत्प्रणश्यति । पुष्करोदकसंस्पर्शाच्छीघ्रं गच्छति पातकम्
divākarakaraiḥ spṛṣṭaṃ tamo yadvatpraṇaśyati | puṣkarodakasaṃsparśācchīghraṃ gacchati pātakam
यथा दिवाकरकिरणैः स्पृष्टं तमः क्षणात् प्रणश्यति, तथा पुष्करोदकसंस्पर्शात् पातकं शीघ्रं विनश्यति।
Skanda (contextual attribution within Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Puṣkara
Type: kund
Scene: A pilgrim touches the shimmering Puṣkara waters as sunrays strike the lake; darkness-like smoke representing pāpa dissolves into light.
Contact with sanctity is transformative: Puṣkara’s waters are likened to sunlight that dispels inner darkness.
Puṣkara tīrtha, specifically its sacred water (puṣkarodaka).
Saṃsparśa/snān with Puṣkara water is recommended as a rapid purifier of sin.
