Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
अग्निष्टोमातिरात्राभ्यां फलं प्राप्रोति मानव: । उस तीर्थमें स्नान करके शुद्ध एवं संयत चित्त हो मानव अतिरात्र और अमग्निष्टोम यज्ञोंका फल पाता है
agniṣṭomātirātrābhyāṁ phalaṁ prāpnoti mānavaḥ |
Wika ni Ghūlastya: “Nakakamit ng tao ang bunga ng mga handog na Agniṣṭoma at Atirātra. Sa pagligo sa tīrthang iyon nang may kalinisan at may pusong napipigil at payapa, natatamo ang kaparehong gantimpalang espirituwal ng mga dakilang ritong Vediko.”

Educational Q&A
Inner purity and mental restraint, when joined to a sacred act like bathing at a tīrtha, can confer the same religious merit as elaborate Vedic sacrifices—highlighting accessibility of dharmic reward through disciplined conduct.
A speaker named Ghūlastya is describing the spiritual efficacy of a particular tīrtha: bathing there with a purified, controlled mind grants the fruit of the Agniṣṭoma and Atirātra yajñas.
