शीर्णपर्णाशिनश्चैके फलाहारा महर्षयः । तद्दृष्ट्वा तादृशं क्षेत्रं संयुक्तं विविधैर्गुणैः
śīrṇaparṇāśinaścaike phalāhārā maharṣayaḥ | taddṛṣṭvā tādṛśaṃ kṣetraṃ saṃyuktaṃ vividhairguṇaiḥ
کچھ مہارشی سوکھے پتے کھاتے تھے، اور کچھ صرف پھل پر گزارا کرتے۔ ایسے گوناگوں اوصاف سے آراستہ اس مقدس کھیتر کو دیکھ کر (انہوں نے اس کی بے مثال پاکیزگی پہچانی)۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) [deduced]
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sages gathering leaves and fruits in a sacred grove, then pausing to gaze upon the kṣetra with reverent wonder; the landscape feels charged with auspiciousness.
A true tīrtha is known by its transformative ‘qualities’—it attracts realized sages and supports sattvic living and austerity.
The kṣetra being praised belongs to the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra cycle in Adhyāya 179.
Sattvic ascetic diets (withered leaves, fruit-only) as supportive disciplines for tapas in a holy place.
