तत्रागतो द्विजः कश्चित्क्षेत्रे तापसरूपधृक् । तीर्थयात्राप्रसंगेन रात्रौ प्राप्तः श्रमान्वितः
tatrāgato dvijaḥ kaścitkṣetre tāpasarūpadhṛk | tīrthayātrāprasaṃgena rātrau prāptaḥ śramānvitaḥ
அங்கே அந்தப் புனிதக் க்ஷேத்திரத்திற்கு ஒரு பிராமணன் வந்தான்; அவன் தபஸ்வியின் தோற்றம் கொண்டிருந்தான். தீர்த்தயாத்திரை காரணமாக இரவில் அங்கு வந்து, உழைப்பால் களைத்திருந்தான்.
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Ajāgṛha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A brāhmaṇa pilgrim in ascetic garb arrives at Ajāgṛha at night, weary, carrying a staff/waterpot, looking for a safe resting place near the sacred spot.
Pilgrimage (tīrthayātrā) places the seeker into sacred encounters; fatigue and hardship become part of dharmic travel and its fruits.
The kṣetra associated with Ajāgṛha, where the legend’s pilgrim arrives.
None explicitly; the verse situates the merit-bearing act of tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage).
