क्रोशद्वयमिदं चक्रे भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदायकम् । तस्मिंस्तीर्थे नरः स्नात्वा मुच्यते सर्वकिल्बिषैः
krośadvayamidaṃ cakre bhuktimuktipradāyakam | tasmiṃstīrthe naraḥ snātvā mucyate sarvakilbiṣaiḥ
Ngài khiến vùng này rộng đến hai krośa trở thành nơi ban cả bhukti (phúc lạc thế gian) lẫn mukti (giải thoát). Ai tắm gội tại tīrtha ấy sẽ được giải trừ mọi tội lỗi.
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Śukla-tīrtha (two-krośa precinct)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Narādhipa (king)
Scene: Śiva consecrates a two-krośa sacred zone around the tīrtha; pilgrims bathe and emerge radiant, freed from sins; the landscape is marked as a protective, merit-giving mandala.
A consecrated tīrtha can grant both dharmic prosperity and liberation, with sin-removal through ritual bathing.
Śuklatīrtha and its surrounding sacred precinct measured as two krośas.
Snāna (ritual bathing) at the tīrtha is explicitly stated to free one from all sins.
