Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced; not explicit in snippet)
Tirtha: Daśāśvamedhika-tīrtha; Koṭitīrtha; Mārkaṇḍa-tīrtha; Brahmatīrtha; Ādivārāha
Type: ghat
Scene: A grand ghāṭa labeled Daśāśvamedhika with symbolic horse-sacrifice motifs (horse banner, yajña-kuṇḍa iconography) but enacted as peaceful bathing; nearby Koṭitīrtha shown as many small kuṇḍas; a rishi (Mārkaṇḍeya) in meditation; Brahmā icon at Brahmatīrtha; and Ādivārāha as a majestic boar-incarnation shrine.
Tīrthas are portrayed as concentrating the merit of great sacrifices (like Aśvamedha), making dharma accessible through pilgrimage.
Daśāśvamedhika-tīrtha is prominent, along with Koṭitīrtha, Mārkaṇḍa, Brahmatīrtha, and Ādivārāha.
No direct injunction is stated; the reference to Aśvamedha frames the tīrtha’s extraordinary merit, implying pilgrimage and worship as the practical equivalent.
