स्मृत्वा यं सेतुमध्ये तु स्नानं कुर्याद्द्विजोत्तमाः । महापातकिसंसर्गदोषस्तस्य लयं व्रजेत्
smṛtvā yaṃ setumadhye tu snānaṃ kuryāddvijottamāḥ | mahāpātakisaṃsargadoṣastasya layaṃ vrajet
హే ద్విజోత్తములారా! సేతువు మధ్యంలో ఆయనను స్మరించుకొని స్నానం చేయువానికి మహాపాతకులతో సంగమమునుండి కలిగిన దోషము లయమగును।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (dvijottamāḥ)
Tirtha: Setu (Setu-madhya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dvija pilgrim stands waist-deep in clear sea-water at Setu-madhya, eyes closed in remembrance, hands in añjali; faint divine presence suggested (Śiva-liṅga aura or Rāma’s name as light).
Pilgrimage is not merely physical: remembrance of the divine combined with tīrtha-bathing is taught as a purifier even of subtle social-spiritual taints.
Setu, particularly “setu-madhya,” the central sacred bathing zone.
Snāna at Setu accompanied by smaraṇa (devotional remembrance) of the Lord.
