Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
पिता पितामहश्नैव सर्वे च प्रपितामहा: । पितामहपुरोगाश्च देवा: सर्षिगणा नृूप
pitā pitāmahaś caiva sarve ca prapitāmahāḥ | pitāmahapurogāś ca devāḥ sarṣigaṇā nṛpa ||
Wika ni Pulastya: “O hari, ang iyong ama, ang iyong lolo, at ang lahat ng iyong mga ninuno—gayundin ang mga diyos na kasama ang mga pangkat ng mga rishi, na pinangungunahan ng Dakilang Ninuno—ay mga saksi sa bagay na ito.”
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
That dharma is upheld under the gaze of both one’s ancestors and the higher moral authorities (gods and sages); therefore a ruler’s choices must honor lineage-based obligations and cosmic order, not merely personal preference.
Pulastya addresses a king and invokes a solemn assembly of forefathers, gods, and seers—led by the grandsire—to emphasize the gravity of the subject under discussion and to frame it within ancestral and divine oversight.
