Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
एकी भूतास्ततस्तास्तु तस्मिंस्तीर्थे समागता:
ekībhūtās tatās tāstu tasmiṃs tīrthe samāgatāḥ
وَیشَمپایَن نے کہا—پھر وہ سب ایک جان ہو کر اُس تیرتھ پر جمع ہو گئیں۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights the moral and emotional power of unity: in moments of crisis and transition, people find strength by acting together and approaching sacred spaces with a shared intention.
The narrator states that the women (implied by the feminine plural) come together in unity and assemble at a particular tīrtha, indicating a collective movement toward a sacred place for rites, mourning, or counsel in the war’s aftermath.
