पुनराचमनं देयं यतये विष्णुरूपिणे । वस्त्रदानं च सप्तम्या कार्यं विष्णोर्मुनीश्वर
punarācamanaṃ deyaṃ yataye viṣṇurūpiṇe | vastradānaṃ ca saptamyā kāryaṃ viṣṇormunīśvara
پھر آچمن اُس یتی کو پیش کرنا چاہیے جو وشنو کا روپ ہے۔ اور ساتویں تِتھی کو، اے مُنیشور، وشنو کے لیے کپڑوں کا دان کرنا چاہیے۔
Skanda (deduced; address to “munīśvara” indicates instruction to a sage interlocutor)
Listener: munīśvara (addressed)
Scene: A sage (yati) seated calmly, depicted with a subtle Viṣṇu aura; a pilgrim offers ācamana water in a small vessel, then presents folded garments on Saptamī while other pilgrims watch in reverence.
Serving holy renunciants as embodiments of Viṣṇu and dedicating charity to Viṣṇu are both upheld as devotional dharma.
No named tīrtha appears in this verse; it continues the chapter’s general tīrtha-based vrata guidance.
Give ācamana-water to a yati (seen as Viṣṇu’s form), and perform vastra-dāna on saptamī for Viṣṇu.
