Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
ऋषीणां यत्र सत्राणि समाप्तानि नराधिप । तत्रावसानमासाद्य गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्,नरेश्वर! जहाँ ऋषियोंके सत्र समाप्त हुए हैं, वहाँ अवसानतीर्थमें जाकर मनुष्य सहस्र गोदानका फल पाता है
ṛṣīṇāṃ yatra satrāṇi samāptāni narādhipa | tatra avasānam āsādya go-sahasra-phalaṃ labhet ||
Ghūlastya nói: “Tâu đại vương, tại nơi các bậc hiền triết đã hoàn tất những kỳ tế lễ dài ngày, ai đến được bến thiêng mang tên Avasāna thì sẽ hưởng công đức ngang với việc bố thí một nghìn con bò.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that sacred places associated with the completion of great Vedic rites carry enduring spiritual potency; visiting such a tīrtha with reverence yields merit comparable to major acts of charity (here, the gift of a thousand cows).
A speaker named Ghūlastya addresses a king and describes the spiritual reward of going to the tīrtha called Avasāna, identified as the site where sages completed their sattra-sacrifices.
