कोटितीर्थमिदं स्थानं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम् । अद्यप्रभृति विप्रेन्द्र भविष्यति न संशयः
koṭitīrthamidaṃ sthānaṃ sarvapāpapraṇāśanam | adyaprabhṛti viprendra bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ
یہ مقام ‘کوٹی تیرتھ’ کے نام سے معروف ہوگا، جو تمام گناہوں کا ناس کرنے والا ہے۔ آج سے آگے، اے برہمنوں کے سردار، یہ یقیناً ایسا ہی ہوگا—بے شک۔
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Koṭitīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Addressed to ‘viprendra’ (foremost brāhmaṇa) within the story
Scene: A solemn moment of declaration: the deity/authority points to the waters and names them Koṭitīrtha; sages and devas witness the consecration.
A tīrtha’s sanctity is affirmed as a living conduit of purification, capable of annihilating accumulated pāpa through contact and devotion.
Koṭitīrtha, explicitly named as the sin-destroying sacred spot in Revā Khaṇḍa 182.
The verse primarily names and praises the tīrtha; ritual details (snāna, pūjā, tarpaṇa) appear in subsequent verses.
