शरीरे सकला देवा योगिनो निवसंति हि । कर्णे तु दक्षिणे नद्यो निवसंति तथाऽपराः
śarīre sakalā devā yogino nivasaṃti hi | karṇe tu dakṣiṇe nadyo nivasaṃti tathā'parāḥ
بے شک جسم کے اندر سب دیوتا اور یوگی بستے ہیں۔ دائیں کان میں بھی ندیاں اور دیگر مقدس دھارائیں مقیم کہی گئی ہیں۔
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Deha-tīrtha (Śarīra as tīrtha); Karṇa-nadī-ādhāra (right ear as river-seat)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A yogin seated in meditation; within a translucent body-map, devas and ṛṣis dwell in organs; from the right ear flow stylized river-streams labeled as sacred currents.
Pilgrimage is not only external: the body itself is a sacred landscape where divine forces and tīrthas abide.
The verse glorifies the ‘antar-tīrtha’ model—rivers and sacred presences located within bodily centers (here, the right ear).
No explicit rite; it supports contemplative reverence for the body as a tīrtha-field in yogic practice.
