Puruṣottama-kṣetra Māhātmya: Śveta-Mādhava & Matsya-Mādhava; Mārkaṇḍeya-tīrtha Mārjana and Bath Liturgy
वृजिनं हर मे सर्वं तीर्थराज नमोऽस्तु ते । एवमुच्चार्य विधिवत्ततः स्नानं समाचरेत् ॥ ५४ ॥
vṛjinaṃ hara me sarvaṃ tīrtharāja namo'stu te | evamuccārya vidhivattataḥ snānaṃ samācaret || 54 ||
“O Tīrtharāja, Hari ng mga banal na tawiran, alisin mo ang lahat ng aking kasalanan; pagpupugay sa iyo.” Pagkasambit nito ayon sa wastong paraan, saka isagawa nang maayos ang paliligo sa ritwal (snāna).
Narada
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It frames tīrtha-snāna as a conscious act of purification: one first offers a humble prayer seeking removal of vṛjina (sin/taint) and then completes the merit through rule-based (vidhivat) bathing.
Bhakti appears as surrender and reverence—addressing the tīrtha as “Tīrtharāja” and offering namas—showing that inner humility and invocation accompany the outward rite.
It highlights kalpa-style ritual discipline: recitation (uccāraṇa) followed by the prescribed procedure (vidhivat) for snāna, emphasizing correct sequence and observance.
