Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
उष्य द्वादशरात्र तु नियतो नियताशनः । प्रदक्षिणमुपावृत्य जम्बूमार्ग समाविशेत्,वहाँ इन्द्रियसंयम और नियमित आहार करते हुए बारह रात रहकर तीर्थकी परिक्रमा करनेके पश्चात् जम्बूमार्गको जाय
uṣya dvādaśarātraṁ tu niyato niyatāśanaḥ | pradakṣiṇam upāvṛtya jambūmārgaṁ samāviśet ||
Doon, na may pagpipigil sa mga pandama at may takdang pagkain, manatili nang labindalawang gabi; at matapos maisagawa ang pradakṣiṇā—ang pag-ikot sa banal na pook nang pakanan (paikot na ayon sa orasan)—saka pumasok sa landas na tinatawag na Jambūmārga.
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Spiritual progress is framed as requiring restraint (niyama), control of the senses, and regulated living; only after disciplined observance and reverent circumambulation does one proceed onward.
The speaker gives procedural guidance for a pilgrimage observance: remain for twelve nights with vows and regulated diet, perform the prescribed circumambulation, and then proceed to the route known as Jambūmārga.
