तत्र स्नात्वा नरो यस्तु करोति यमतर्पणम् । व्याधिदोषविनाशार्थं क्लेशदोषोप शांतये । यमाय धर्मराजाय मृत्यवे चांतकाय च । वैवस्वताय कालाय दध्नाय परमेष्ठिने

Tắm gội tại đó xong, người nào cử hành lễ tarpaṇa dâng lên Yama—để diệt trừ lỗi do bệnh tật và để làm lắng dịu các uế nhiễm của khổ não—thì dâng lên Yama, Dharmarāja, Mṛtyu, Antaka, Vaivasvata, Kāla, Dadhna và Parameṣṭhin.
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Dharmavāpī (contextual)
Type: kund
Scene: At the water’s edge after bathing, a devotee performs tarpaṇa—pouring water through the fingers—invoking Yama’s many names; the mood is solemn yet calming, with a sense of cosmic order.
Ritual offerings aligned with dharma—especially to Yama as cosmic judge—are said to remove obstacles, disease-caused faults, and inner afflictions.
The tīrtha “there” refers to Dharmavāpī in the Dharmāraṇya Māhātmya sequence.
After bathing, perform Yama-tarpaṇa, invoking Yama by multiple epithets (Yama, Dharmarāja, Mṛtyu, Antaka, Vaivasvata, Kāla, etc.).
