उषित्वा रजनीं तत्र माधव: परवीरहा । पूज्य तीर्थवरं तच्च स्पृष्टवा तोयं च लाड़ली
uṣitvā rajanīṃ tatra mādhavaḥ paravīrahā | pūjya tīrthavaraṃ tacca spṛṣṭvā toyaṃ ca lāḍalī ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: Ở lại đó một đêm, Mādhava—kẻ diệt các dũng sĩ đối phương—kính lễ bến thiêng tối thượng ấy; rồi sau khi chạm vào làn nước, Người tiếp tục lên đường.

Even in a martial context, one should uphold dharma through reverence for sacred places and inner purification; ritual respect functions as ethical re-centering before action.
After spending the night at a location, Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) honors a renowned tīrtha and touches its water as an act of reverence/purification, then continues his journey.
