Tirtha: Suparṇākhya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (sages)
Scene: A penitent sinner-turned-devotee undertakes prāyopaveśa at the sacred spot—seated, fasting, hands in añjali, eyes calm—while sages or temple attendants maintain a protective, ritual atmosphere; the tīrtha radiates sanctity.
In tīrtha-māhātmya theology, sincere faith joined to austerity can override even heavy sin and lead to the highest goal.
Suparṇākhya tīrtha of Śrīhāṭakeśvara-kṣetra.
Prāyopaveśa performed with parā-śraddhā (supreme faith).
