TīrtharājaFAQs
Not all tīrthas bestow the same measure of purification; the text prepares the reader for the supreme greatness of a foremost tīrtha.
The passage is setting up the glorification of Prayāga, renowned as the Tīrtharāja (King of Tīrthas).
No specific rite is prescribed here; it speaks generally of tīrtha-based purification from sin.
