Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 6
यस्यां स्थितो हरिः साक्षात्सेयं केनोपमीयते । अहो तीर्थानि सर्वाणि विष्णुलोकप्रदानि वै
yasyāṃ sthito hariḥ sākṣātseyaṃ kenopamīyate | aho tīrthāni sarvāṇi viṣṇulokapradāni vai
Kung saan si Hari mismo ay tuwirang nananahan—ano ang maihahambing dito? Ah! Tunay na ang lahat ng tīrtha rito’y nagkakaloob ng daigdig ni Viṣṇu.
Agastya (quoting the brāhmaṇa/Dharma in narrative)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā and its tīrthas (collective)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Hari’s presence is felt as a luminous center within Ayodhyā—temples and ghāṭas oriented toward an unseen but palpable divine abode; pilgrims gaze upward as if toward Viṣṇu-loka.
