तत्र तीर्थे तु ये स्नात्वा पूजयन्ति महेश्वरम् । महादेवं महात्मानं मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः
tatra tīrthe tu ye snātvā pūjayanti maheśvaram | mahādevaṃ mahātmānaṃ mucyante sarvakilbiṣaiḥ
جو لوگ اُس تیرتھ میں اسنان کر کے مہیشور—مہادیو، عظیم روح والے پروردگار—کی پوجا کرتے ہیں، وہ ہر طرح کی آلودگی اور گناہ سے آزاد ہو جاتے ہیں۔

Tirtha: Rāmeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims emerge from the Narmadā, wet garments clinging, then proceed to a small sanctum where a Śiva-liṅga is worshiped; offerings of bilva leaves and water streams are visible; the atmosphere is clean, bright, and absolving.
Purification is attained through a combined discipline of tīrtha-snān and devotion-centered worship of Śiva.
