पुलस्त्य उवाच । ततो गच्छेद्ब्रह्मपदं तीर्थं त्रैलोक्यविश्रुतम् । यत्र पूर्वं पदं न्यस्तं ब्रह्मणा लोककारिणा
pulastya uvāca | tato gacchedbrahmapadaṃ tīrthaṃ trailokyaviśrutam | yatra pūrvaṃ padaṃ nyastaṃ brahmaṇā lokakāriṇā
Sinabi ni Pulastya: “Pagkatapos, dapat magtungo sa Brahmapada Tīrtha, ang banal na pook na bantog sa tatlong daigdig—kung saan noong una ay inilapag ni Brahmā, ang lumikha ng mga daigdig, ang bakas ng kanyang paa.”
Pulastya
Tirtha: Brahmapada Tīrtha
Type: kshetra
Listener: (Implied) the inquirer receiving Arbuda tīrtha itinerary (often a sage/king in Purāṇic frame)
Scene: Pulastya instructs pilgrims; a sacred stone/spot bears Brahmā’s footprint mark; pilgrims approach with folded hands, offering flowers and water; Arbuda’s verdant slopes frame the scene.
Pilgrimage is grounded in divine memory: a site becomes authoritative because it bears the imprint of cosmic acts (Brahmā’s step).
Brahmapada Tīrtha, renowned across the three worlds.
A yātrā instruction: “one should go” (gacchet) to Brahmapada Tīrtha as part of the pilgrimage sequence.
