स्थापितः परया भक्त्या तं गच्छेदात्मसिद्धये । गीर्वाणांश्च मनुष्यांश्च पित्ःंस्तत्रापि तर्पयेत्
sthāpitaḥ parayā bhaktyā taṃ gacchedātmasiddhaye | gīrvāṇāṃśca manuṣyāṃśca pitḥṃstatrāpi tarpayet
اعلیٰ بھکتی سے (دیوتا کو) قائم کر کے، انسان کو اپنی آتمک سِدھی کے لیے وہاں جانا چاہیے؛ اور وہاں دیوتاؤں، انسانوں اور پِتروں کو بھی ترپن دے کر سیراب و راضی کرنا چاہیے۔
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya (deduced from surrounding adhyāya narrative style in Revā Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīrtha context
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim establishes a small shrine/icon on the riverbank with lamps and flowers, then performs tarpaṇa with cupped hands offering water to devas, humans (symbolic offering/charity), and ancestors; serene atmosphere of completion.
True benefit from a sacred place arises from devotion and right conduct—worship joined with duties to gods, society, and ancestors.
The verse speaks generally of ‘going there’ within the Revā Khaṇḍa context; the exact named tīrtha is not specified in this single verse.
Perform tarpana (libation/offerings) for devas, humans (as a dharmic obligation of honoring), and pitṛs at the sacred spot.
