यत्र पूर्वं तपस्तप्तं विश्वामित्रेण धीमता । त्रिशंकोर्भूमिपालस्य कृते तीर्थे महात्मना
yatra pūrvaṃ tapastaptaṃ viśvāmitreṇa dhīmatā | triśaṃkorbhūmipālasya kṛte tīrthe mahātmanā
இதுவே அந்தத் தீர்த்தம்; முற்காலத்தில் அறிவுமிக்க மகாத்மா விசுவாமித்திரர் இங்கு கடுந்தவம் செய்து, பூபதி திரிசங்குவின் நலனுக்காக இந்தத் தீர்த்தத்தை நிறுவினார்.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) speaking to the Ṛṣis (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative frame)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara tīrtha (Viśvāmitra-tapas-sthāna)
Type: tirtha
Scene: Viśvāmitra seated in fierce austerity near a sacred ford—matted hair, fire-altar, and a luminous tīrtha pool/riverbank—while the intent ‘for Triśaṅku’ is symbolized by a royal figure in supplication at a distance.
A tīrtha gains enduring sanctity through the tapas of realized sages, offered for the upliftment of others.
A tīrtha associated with Viśvāmitra’s austerities performed for King Triśaṅku, within the Hāṭakeśvara-related sacred region described in this adhyāya.
No explicit ritual is stated here; the verse primarily establishes the tīrtha’s origin through tapas.
