श्रोत्रिये कुलसम्पन्ने शुचिष्मति जितेन्द्रिये । श्रुताध्ययनसम्पन्ने दम्भहीने क्रियान्विते । त्रयोदशाहःस्वेकैकं त्रयोदशगुणं भवेत्
śrotriye kulasampanne śuciṣmati jitendriye | śrutādhyayanasampanne dambhahīne kriyānvite | trayodaśāhaḥsvekaikaṃ trayodaśaguṇaṃ bhavet
شروتریہ—اچھے خاندان والا، پاکیزہ، ضبطِ نفس رکھنے والا، شروتی کے علم و مطالعہ سے آراستہ، ریا سے پاک اور نیک عمل میں قائم—ایسے شخص کو تیرہ روزہ رسم میں دیا گیا ہر دان تیرہ گنا پھل دیتا ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced from Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīrtha sphere (contextual)
Type: river
Scene: A dignified śrotriya brāhmaṇa—clean, restrained, holding scripture—receives a modest daily gift; a calendar-like motif or thirteen lamps suggests the thirteen-day rite and the ‘thirteenfold’ fruit.
Charity bears maximum fruit when offered to genuinely qualified, disciplined, and sincere recipients.
The instruction belongs to the Śūlabheda tīrtha-māhātmya context, explaining how dāna there becomes especially fruitful.
During a thirteen-day observance, each gift given to a qualified śrotriya is said to yield thirteenfold merit.
