devadakṣiṇadigbhāge catuḥsrotasvinī jalam | tṛṣārtau dhayato vipra snātau jātu cidaṃḍajau
دیوتا کے مندر کے جنوبی حصے میں ‘چتُہ سْروتسوِنی’ کا پانی تھا۔ پیاس سے بے قرار، اے وِپر، وہ دونوں پرندے اسے پیتے اور کبھی کبھی وہیں اشنان (غسل) بھی کرتے تھے۔
Skanda (deduced, Kāśīkhaṇḍa context) speaking to Agastya
Tirtha: Catuḥsrotasvinī
Type: kund
Listener: Vipra (addressed ‘vipra’)
Scene: South of the shrine, a small sacred watercourse or pool with four visible channels; two birds bend to drink and occasionally splash-bathe, with the temple looming nearby.
Sacred waters near a Śiva-sthāna purify and sustain—linking bodily need with spiritual merit.
The Catuḥsrotasvinī water-site/tīrtha located in the southern sector of the deity’s (Trilocana’s) shrine area.
Snāna (bathing) and pāna (drinking) in the tīrtha-water, implying its sanctifying value.
