कार्तिक्यां कृत्तिकायोगे यः करोति प्रदक्षिणाम् । त्रिपुष्करस्य मौनेन नरकं न स पश्यति
kārtikyāṃ kṛttikāyoge yaḥ karoti pradakṣiṇām | tripuṣkarasya maunena narakaṃ na sa paśyati
கார்த்திக மாதத்தில் க்ருத்திகா-யோகம் நிகழும் போது யார் பிரதட்சிணை செய்கிறாரோ, மேலும் திரிபுஷ்கரத்தில் மௌன விரதம் அனுஷ்டிக்கிறாரோ, அவர் நரகத்தை காணார்।
Bhīṣma (to Yudhiṣṭhira)
Tirtha: Tripuṣkara
Type: kshetra
Scene: At Pushkar’s sacred precincts, pilgrims in Kārtika perform silent circumambulation around the lake/temple path under a starry sky marked by Kṛttikā; lamps line the ghāṭas; the mood is restrained and devotional.
Kārtika-devotion expressed through pradakṣiṇā and disciplined vows (like mauna) at holy places is exalted as a liberating purifier.
Tripuṣkara (commonly identified with the Puṣkara tīrtha region) is singled out.
Performing pradakṣiṇā during Kārtika at Kṛttikā-yoga and keeping mauna (silence) at Tripuṣkara.
