तत्र तीर्थे तु यः कन्यां दद्यात्स्वयमलंकृताम् । तस्य यत्फलमुद्दिष्टं तच्छृणुष्व नरोत्तम
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ kanyāṃ dadyātsvayamalaṃkṛtām | tasya yatphalamuddiṣṭaṃ tacchṛṇuṣva narottama
اس تیرتھ پر جو کوئی اپنی ہی کوشش سے آراستہ کی ہوئی کنیا کا دان (نکاح) کرے، اے بہترین انسان، اس کے لیے جو پھل بتایا گیا ہے وہ سنو۔
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Agnitīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Rājendra
Scene: On the riverbank at Agnitīrtha, a father performs kanyā-dāna: the maiden adorned, sacred fire present, priests chanting, water of the Revā nearby.
Major life-rites (saṃskāra), when performed with dharma at a tīrtha, are magnified in spiritual merit.
The same Agnitīrtha introduced in the previous verse.
Perform kanyā-dāna (giving a daughter/maiden in marriage) at the tīrtha, with proper adornment and due rite.
