Glory of Guru-tīrtha: Mānasarovara Marvels and the Revā Confluence
स्तूयमानौ महात्मानौ दंपती दृष्टवानहम् । व्रजंतौ स्वर्गमार्गेण कूजंते पक्षिणस्तथा
stūyamānau mahātmānau daṃpatī dṛṣṭavānaham | vrajaṃtau svargamārgeṇa kūjaṃte pakṣiṇastathā
ข้าพเจ้าได้เห็นคู่สามีภรรยาผู้มหาตมะนั้น ถูกสรรเสริญอยู่ แล้วดำเนินไปตามทางสวรรค์; และหมู่นกทั้งหลายก็ส่งเสียงเจื้อยแจ้วไพเราะเช่นกัน

Concept: A righteous, devoted household life (dampatī) can culminate in honored ascent; the cosmos responds with auspicious signs.
Application: Treat family life as a shared sādhana—mutual support in worship, charity, and tīrtha-sevā—so one’s path becomes ‘praised’ rather than burdened.
