सर्वेषामुपकाराय कपिभिर्निर्मितं द्विजाः । रावणादिषु रक्षःसु हतेषु तदनंतरम्
sarveṣāmupakārāya kapibhirnirmitaṃ dvijāḥ | rāvaṇādiṣu rakṣaḥsu hateṣu tadanaṃtaram
اے دِویجوں! یہ تیرتھ سب کے بھلے کے لیے وانروں نے بنایا—راون اور اس کے مانند راکشسوں کے مارے جانے کے فوراً بعد۔
Sūta (continued narration)
Tirtha: Kapitīrtha
Type: tirtha
Listener: Dvijāḥ/Ṛṣayaḥ
Scene: Vānara hosts, still bearing marks of battle’s end, build steps and a sacred ford on a mountain stream; the shadow of the slain rākṣasas fades, replaced by a tīrtha fit for all beings.
Holy places are portrayed as acts of loka-saṅgraha—created for the spiritual welfare of all beings, rooted in dharmic history.
Kapitīrtha, said to have been established by the Vānara hosts.
No explicit ritual; the verse gives the tīrtha’s origin and auspicious historical timing.
