Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
यो: स्नात: साधयेत् तत्र गिरौ कालण्जरे नृप । स्वर्गलोके महीयेत नरो नास्त्यत्र संशय:,राजन! जो कालंजर पर्वतपर स्नान करके वहाँ साधन करता है, वह मनुष्य स्वर्गलोकमें प्रतिष्ठित होता है; इसमें संशय नहीं है
yo snātaḥ sādhayet tatra girau kālañjare nṛpa | svargaloke mahīyeta naro nāsty atra saṁśayaḥ ||
O hari, sinumang maligo roon sa Bundok Kālañjara at pagkatapos ay magsagawa ng sādhanā, ang taimtim na pagsasanay sa banal na pook na iyon, ay pararangalan sa daigdig ng langit. Walang alinlangan dito.
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Ritual purification (snāna) combined with sincere spiritual discipline (sādhana/tapas) at a recognized sacred place is presented as a powerful dharmic act that yields exalted posthumous reward—honor in heaven—emphasizing faith, effort, and sanctity of place.
Pulastya, speaking to a king, continues a tirtha-related instruction by describing the फल (result) of bathing at the sacred mountain Kālañjara and practicing austerity there, assuring the listener that such conduct leads to heavenly honor without doubt.
