तत्रागतो द्विजः कश्चित्क्षेत्रे तापसरूपधृक् । तीर्थयात्राप्रसंगेन रात्रौ प्राप्तः श्रमान्वितः
tatrāgato dvijaḥ kaścitkṣetre tāpasarūpadhṛk | tīrthayātrāprasaṃgena rātrau prāptaḥ śramānvitaḥ
وہاں ایک دِوِج آیا، جو اس مقدس کشتَر میں تپسوی کی صورت دھارے ہوئے تھا۔ تیرتھ یاترا کے سلسلے میں وہ رات کو تھکا ماندہ وہاں پہنچا۔
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Ajāgṛha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A brāhmaṇa pilgrim in ascetic garb arrives at Ajāgṛha at night, weary, carrying a staff/waterpot, looking for a safe resting place near the sacred spot.
Pilgrimage (tīrthayātrā) places the seeker into sacred encounters; fatigue and hardship become part of dharmic travel and its fruits.
The kṣetra associated with Ajāgṛha, where the legend’s pilgrim arrives.
None explicitly; the verse situates the merit-bearing act of tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage).
