यस्यां स्नातो नरः सम्यग्भास्करस्योदयं प्रति । ज्येष्ठशुक्लचतुर्दश्यां मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
yasyāṃ snāto naraḥ samyagbhāskarasyodayaṃ prati | jyeṣṭhaśuklacaturdaśyāṃ mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
جو شخص اس تیرتھ میں ٹھیک طریقے سے اشنان کرے اور بھاسکر کے طلوعِ آفتاب کی سمت رخ رکھے، جیٹھ شُکل چتُردشی کو وہ تمام گناہوں سے رہائی پاتا ہے۔
Sūta (continuing narration)
Scene: At dawn, a pilgrim stands waist-deep in sacred water, hands joined, facing the first rays of the sun; the sky is saffron, lotuses and ripples surround him; subtle aura suggests sins dissolving into the water.
Purification is intensified when devotion, correct procedure, auspicious time (tithi), and sacred place (tīrtha) converge.
