Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
जातिस्मरह्ददे स्नात्वा भवेज्जातिस्मरो नर: । तदनन्तर कृष्णवेणाके जलसे उत्पन्न हुए रमणीय देवकुण्डमें, जिसे जातिस्मर हृद कहते हैं, स्नान करे। वहाँ स्नान करनेसे मनुष्य जातिस्मर (पूर्वजन्मकी बातोंको स्मरण करनेकी शक्तिवाला) होता है
jātismarahṛdade snātvā bhavej jātismaro naraḥ |
Wika ni Pulastya: “Sa pagligo sa banal na lawa na tinatawag na Jātismara-hṛda, ang tao ay nagiging jātismara—pinagkakalooban ng kapangyarihang alalahanin ang mga naunang kapanganakan.”
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sacred bathing (tīrtha-snāna) is portrayed as a means of inner transformation: it can awaken jātismaratā (past-life recollection), reinforcing the ethical vision that actions (karma) have continuity and consequences beyond a single lifetime.
Pulastya is describing a particular holy water-body, Jātismara-hṛda, and states its specific fruit (phala): anyone who bathes there gains the extraordinary capacity to remember previous births.
