Tīrtha-vidhi (Procedure for Holy Places) — Prayāgarāja-māhātmya
वर्षातपादिके छत्री दंडी शर्करकंटके । शरीरत्राणकामोऽसौ सोपानत्कः सदा व्रजेत् ॥ ३५ ॥
varṣātapādike chatrī daṃḍī śarkarakaṃṭake | śarīratrāṇakāmo'sau sopānatkaḥ sadā vrajet || 35 ||
بارش اور دھوپ کے وقت ہمیشہ چھتری اور لاٹھی ساتھ رکھ کر چلے۔ اور جب راستہ کنکریوں یا کانٹوں سے بھرا ہو تو جسم کی حفاظت چاہنے والا جوتا/پادوکا پہن کر ہی جائے۔

It teaches that dharma is practiced through disciplined conduct: safeguarding the body during tirtha-yatra supports steady worship and prevents negligence that could disrupt vows and pilgrimage observances.
Bhakti is sustained by practical steadiness—proper preparation for travel (umbrella, staff, footwear) helps a devotee complete sacred journeys and maintain devotional focus without avoidable hardship.
No specific Vedanga is taught directly; the verse emphasizes sadācāra (proper conduct) and yātrā-vidhi (pilgrimage procedure), aligning ritual life with prudent, rule-based practice.
