Glory of Prayaga and the Magha Bath at Triveni
ब्रह्मचारी जितक्रोधस्त्रिरात्रं योऽत्र तिष्ठति । सर्वपापविशुद्धात्मा सोऽश्वमेधफलं लभेत् ॥ ९४ ॥
brahmacārī jitakrodhastrirātraṃ yo'tra tiṣṭhati | sarvapāpaviśuddhātmā so'śvamedhaphalaṃ labhet || 94 ||
Một brahmacārī (học trò giữ phạm hạnh) đã chế ngự sân hận, nếu lưu trú tại đây ba đêm, thì tự thân được thanh tịnh khỏi mọi tội lỗi và đạt công đức của lễ tế Aśvamedha.
Narada (within a tirtha-mahatmya instruction stream; commonly framed as Narada teaching in dialogue with Sanatkumara traditions)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: vira
It teaches that disciplined conduct—brahmacarya and mastery over anger—combined with a three-night stay at a sacred tirtha leads to deep inner purification and extraordinary merit comparable to major Vedic sacrifices.
Though framed as a tirtha observance, the verse emphasizes inner qualities (self-restraint and krodha-jaya) that make pilgrimage and worship fruitful—supporting bhakti by purifying the heart for sustained devotion.
Ritual discipline is implied: the observance specifies a time-bound vrata (trirātra) and ethical restraints (brahmacarya, anger-control), reflecting practical dharma-ritual procedure rather than technical Śikṣā/Vyākaraṇa details.
