तत्र तीर्थे तु यः स्नात्वा ह्युपवासपरायणः । चैत्रमासे चतुर्दश्यां मदनस्य दिनेऽथवा
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā hyupavāsaparāyaṇaḥ | caitramāse caturdaśyāṃ madanasya dine'thavā
Và bất cứ ai tại tīrtha ấy tắm gội thanh tịnh và chuyên tâm trì trai—vào ngày mười bốn của tháng Caitra, hoặc vào ngày thiêng hiến dâng cho Madana (Kāma)—
Narrator
Tirtha: Kusumeśvara-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: King (Rājendra)
Scene: Pilgrims at a river-tīrtha undertake a vow of fasting; the lunar date is marked; they prepare for ritual bathing at Kusumeśvara-tīrtha under springtime Caitra skies.
Pilgrimage is completed by discipline: tīrtha-snānā and upavāsa transform a visit into dharmic merit.
The “tatra tīrtha” refers to the Kusumeśvara-associated tīrtha established in the preceding verse, within the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Snāna (bathing) at the tīrtha along with upavāsa (fasting), especially on Caitra śukla/kr̥ṣṇa caturdaśī and/or Madana’s sacred day.
