Tīrtha-yātrā: Phalaśruti and Sacred Geography from Lohitya to Prayāga
Pulastya’s Instruction
अमराणां ह्वदे स्नात्वा समभ्यर्च्यामराधिपम् | अमराणां प्रभावेण स्वर्गलोके महीयते,अमरह॒दमें स्नान करके अमरेश्वर इन्द्रका पूजन करे। ऐसा करके मनुष्य अमरोंके प्रभावसे स्वर्गलोकमें प्रतिष्ठित होता है
amarāṇāṁ hrade snātvā samabhyarcyāmarādhipam | amarāṇāṁ prabhāveṇa svargaloke mahīyate ||
Sinabi ni Ghūlastya: “Pagkaligo sa lawa ng mga Walang-Kamatayan at matapos sambahin nang nararapat si Indra, panginoon ng mga diyos, ang tao—sa bisa ng kapangyarihan ng mga diyos—ay pararangalan at matatatag sa daigdig ng langit.”

Educational Q&A
Reverent ritual action—bathing at a sacred site and worshipping the rightful divine lord (Indra)—is presented as a means to gain exalted status in Svarga, emphasizing faith, discipline, and the merit believed to arise from tīrtha and pūjā.
The speaker, Ghūlastya, describes the fruit of a specific tīrtha-practice: bathing in the gods’ lake and worshipping Indra, after which a person is said to be honored and established in the heavenly realm through the gods’ potency.
