आत्मा च पार्थिवश्रेष्ठ स्नानाच्च जलतर्पणात् । यस्मात्कुलं त्वया पुत्र तीर्थेऽस्मिंस्तारितं ततः
ātmā ca pārthivaśreṣṭha snānācca jalatarpaṇāt | yasmātkulaṃ tvayā putra tīrthe'smiṃstāritaṃ tataḥ
اے بہترین بادشاہ! اس اشنان اور جل ترپن (آب نذر) سے تمہاری اپنی آتما بھی پاک ہوتی ہے؛ کیونکہ اے بیٹے، اسی تِیرتھ میں تمہارے ذریعے یہ کُلن (خاندان) تر گیا ہے۔
Pitṛs (forefathers), reported by Pulastya
Tirtha: Nirmalodaka
Type: kund
Scene: After bathing, the king stands at the water’s edge offering cupped water (añjali) as tarpaṇa; subtle light indicates purification; the atmosphere is calm and resolved.
Rites at a tīrtha purify the performer and serve as a bridge of duty and compassion toward one’s ancestors.
The same Arbuda tīrtha where snāna and jalatarpaṇa are performed—celebrated for saving the kula.
Snāna (bathing) and jala-tarpaṇa (water oblations, especially for pitṛs).
