Translation

มิใช่ทุกสังฆมะแห่งสายน้ำจะให้มหาบุญเสมอไป; โมกษะกล่าวกันว่าได้จากสังฆมะแห่งชาห์นวี (คงคา) และที่สังฆมะกับสายน้ำโคมตี ก็ถึงความหลุดพ้นได้ ด้วยการสัมผัสน้ำโคมตีอันชำระให้บริสุทธิ์ ข้าพเจ้าก็ได้รับความบริสุทธิ์ ณ ที่นี้ ในสำนักของพระกฤษณะ

FAQs

True tīrtha-merit is not uniform everywhere; specific sacred confluences—especially those tied to divine presence—are extolled as direct means toward purification and liberation.

The Gomati waters and their sacred confluence at Dvārakā, praised as uniquely purifying in the vicinity (sannidhi) of Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa.

While no explicit injunction is stated, the verse implies tīrtha-sevā through contact with the Gomati’s waters—commonly understood as snāna (ritual bathing) and reverent approach to the saṅgama in Kṛṣṇa’s sacred precinct.
