ततस्तीर्थान्यनेकानि भ्रांत्वा शक्रो नराधिप । क्रमेणैवार्बुदं प्राप्तस्तत्र दृष्ट्वा जलाशयम् । स्नानं चक्रे ततः श्रान्तो महौजाः प्रत्यपद्यत
tatastīrthānyanekāni bhrāṃtvā śakro narādhipa | krameṇaivārbudaṃ prāptastatra dṛṣṭvā jalāśayam | snānaṃ cakre tataḥ śrānto mahaujāḥ pratyapadyata
Pagkaraan, O hari, si Śakra (Indra) ay gumala sa maraming tīrtha; at sa kalaunan ay nakarating sa Arbuda. Doon, nang makita ang isang lawa, ang makapangyarihan—pagod na pagod—ay naligo, at pagkaraan ay nagkamit ng dakilang ojas, ng ningning at lakas.

Tirtha: Mahaujasā Tīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Narādhipa (king) addressed by the storyteller of the khanda
Scene: Indra, after long pilgrimage, arrives at Arbuda, sees a shining lake, bathes, and his body regains mahā-ojas; gods or attendants may be in the distance.
Even the greatest beings seek purification and renewal through tīrtha-snān; sacred places restore spiritual power (ojas) when approached with reverence.
A sacred jalāśaya (lake) at Arbuda, associated with the Mahaujasā Tīrtha tradition in this chapter.
