देवा घ्राणेन तुष्यंति धूपं घ्राणहरं शुभम् । द्वादश्या दीपदानं तु कर्तव्यं मुक्तिमिच्छुभिः
devā ghrāṇena tuṣyaṃti dhūpaṃ ghrāṇaharaṃ śubham | dvādaśyā dīpadānaṃ tu kartavyaṃ muktimicchubhiḥ
دیوتا خوشبو سے راضی ہوتے ہیں؛ دھوپ مبارک ہے اور بدبو کو دور کرتی ہے۔ دوادشی کو جو لوگ مکتی چاہتے ہیں اُنہیں دیپ دان (چراغ کی نذر) کرنا چاہیے۔

Type: kshetra
Scene: Temple interior brightened by rows of oil lamps on Dvādaśī; devotees place lamps near the deity; incense smoke lingers; the atmosphere suggests purification and release.
Purifying offerings (fragrance and light) are linked with inner purification; lamp-offering is especially associated with the aspiration for mokṣa.
The verse provides vrata guidance within the Tīrthamāhātmya context; no distinct tirtha is specified in this line.
Offer dhūpa for divine pleasure and perform dīpa-dāna specifically on Dvādaśī, especially for those seeking liberation.
