महीसागरपर्यंतं वृक्षराजिविराजिते । जालीगुल्मलताकीर्णे स्तंभतीर्थस्य संनिधौ
mahīsāgaraparyaṃtaṃ vṛkṣarājivirājite | jālīgulmalatākīrṇe staṃbhatīrthasya saṃnidhau
زمین سے سمندر تک پھیلا ہوا، درختوں کی قطاروں سے آراستہ، جالی کے پودوں، جھاڑیوں اور بیلوں سے گھنا—ستَمبھ تیرتھ کے قرب میں۔
Śrī Nārada (continuing narrative)
Tirtha: Staṃbha-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Pārtha
Scene: A panoramic sweep: wooded rows stretching toward the sea, thick jālī growth, shrubs and creepers; the sacred ford of Staṃbha-tīrtha lies nearby, half-hidden by vegetation.
Sacred places are revealed through Purāṇic geography—nature itself becomes a frame for tīrtha-māhātmya.
Staṃbha-tīrtha is explicitly mentioned as the nearby holy ford.
No explicit rite is stated in this verse; it sets the tīrtha’s landscape context.
