A tīrtha’s sanctity is established through a dhārmic origin and a blessed naming, making the place a shared refuge for all.

Nāga-tīrtha—the pure-water spring on the peak in the Arbuda mountain narrative.

Implicitly, the verse sets up the tīrtha for later practice—especially snāna (ritual bathing) in its pure waters.
