देवीपुरी च प्राक्कोटिरुभयं सेतुमूलकम् । उभयं पुण्यमाख्यातं पवित्रं पापनाशनम्
devīpurī ca prākkoṭirubhayaṃ setumūlakam | ubhayaṃ puṇyamākhyātaṃ pavitraṃ pāpanāśanam
دیوی پوری مشرقی کنارہ ہے، اور دونوں سرے سیتومول سے وابستہ ہیں۔ دونوں کو پُنّیہ مَے کہا گیا ہے—پاک کرنے والے اور پاپوں کو نَشٹ کرنے والے۔
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Devīpurī (eastern koṭi) and Darbhaśayyā/Setumūla complex (western koṭi)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A diptych-like scene: on one side Devīpurī as the eastern gate with pilgrims arriving; on the other side the western terminal Darbhaśayyā with pilgrims offering prayers—both framed as equally holy.
Multiple sacred nodes within one kṣetra can each confer purification; holiness is distributed across the pilgrimage landscape.
Devīpurī as the eastern extremity, and the Setumūla-related endpoints as sin-destroying holy places.
Implied tīrtha-sevā (reverent visitation/bathing) at both sacred endpoints; the verse emphasizes their purifying power.
