ते गच्छन्ति परं लोकं यत्र देवो महेश्वरः । केदारे च यथा पीतं रुद्रकुण्डे तथैव च
te gacchanti paraṃ lokaṃ yatra devo maheśvaraḥ | kedāre ca yathā pītaṃ rudrakuṇḍe tathaiva ca
Họ đi đến cõi tối thượng, nơi Đức Maheśvara ngự trị. Như việc uống nước tại Kedāra đem lại công đức thế nào, thì uống tại Rudrakuṇḍa cũng y như vậy.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced from Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Association with Śiva’s tīrthas—especially through reverent use of their waters—leads toward the highest spiritual goal and Śiva’s realm.
Rudrakuṇḍa is praised, with its merit compared to the famed Kedāra.
Reverently drinking the tīrtha-water (pāna) is indicated as a meritorious act.
