आत्मा च पार्थिवश्रेष्ठ स्नानाच्च जलतर्पणात् । यस्मात्कुलं त्वया पुत्र तीर्थेऽस्मिंस्तारितं ततः
ātmā ca pārthivaśreṣṭha snānācca jalatarpaṇāt | yasmātkulaṃ tvayā putra tīrthe'smiṃstāritaṃ tataḥ
O pinakamainam sa mga hari, sa pamamagitan ng banal na pagligong ito at ng pag-aalay ng tubig (tarpana), nalilinis din ang iyong sariling ātman; sapagkat, o anak, dahil sa iyo ang angkang ito ay nailigtas sa mismong tīrtha na ito.
Pitṛs (forefathers), reported by Pulastya
Tirtha: Nirmalodaka
Type: kund
Scene: After bathing, the king stands at the water’s edge offering cupped water (añjali) as tarpaṇa; subtle light indicates purification; the atmosphere is calm and resolved.
Rites at a tīrtha purify the performer and serve as a bridge of duty and compassion toward one’s ancestors.
The same Arbuda tīrtha where snāna and jalatarpaṇa are performed—celebrated for saving the kula.
Snāna (bathing) and jala-tarpaṇa (water oblations, especially for pitṛs).
