ahaṃ citrāṃgadonāma gandharvastridivaukasām | tīrthayātrākṛte prāptaḥ kṣetre'smiñchraddhayā'nvitaḥ
నేను చిత్రాంగద అనే పేరుగల గంధర్వుడను, త్రిదివవాసులలో ఒకడు. తీర్థయాత్ర నిమిత్తం, శ్రద్ధతో కూడి, ఈ పుణ్యక్షేత్రానికి వచ్చాను.
Citrāṅgada (Gandharva)
Type: kshetra
Listener: the maiden (kanyā)
Scene: A celestial Gandharva introduces himself at the threshold of a sacred precinct—river steps, a small shrine, and pilgrims—his hands in a respectful gesture, indicating he has come for tīrtha-yātrā with faith.
Pilgrimage becomes truly fruitful when undertaken with śraddhā (faith), honoring the holiness of the kṣetra.
The verse speaks generally of “this kṣetra” within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya context; the specific site is not named in this single śloka.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; it emphasizes tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage) performed with faith.
