यस्मिन्मासे दिने यस्मिंस्तीर्थे यस्मिन्क्रमान्नरैः । अक्षयं सेव्यते स्वर्गस्तन्ममाचक्ष्व सुव्रत
yasminmāse dine yasmiṃstīrthe yasminkramānnaraiḥ | akṣayaṃ sevyate svargastanmamācakṣva suvrata
کس مہینے، کس دن، کس تیرتھ میں، اور لوگوں کے کس عمل و ریاضت سے سُوَرگ کا پھل اَکشَی (لازوال) ہو جاتا ہے؟ اے نیک عہد والے، مجھے وہ بتائیے۔
Gaja
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra (questioned as locus for akṣaya-phala)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Bhadra
Scene: Gaja gestures as if enumerating: month, day, tīrtha, and sequence; Bhadra listens thoughtfully. Behind them, a symbolic wheel of time (kāla-cakra) and a map-like suggestion of multiple tīrthas conveys the question about akṣaya heaven.
Merit depends on sacred time (māsa/dina), sacred place (tīrtha), and right observance (krama).
The inquiry is aimed at identifying the specific tīrtha within the Vastrāpathakṣetra Māhātmya.
A request for the correct krama (procedure/vrata) tied to month, day, and tīrtha; details follow in subsequent verses.
