संवर्तं परिपृच्छध्वं स वो वक्ष्यति तत्त्वतः । सर्वतीर्थफलावाप्तिकारकं भूप्रदेशकम्
saṃvartaṃ paripṛcchadhvaṃ sa vo vakṣyati tattvataḥ | sarvatīrthaphalāvāptikārakaṃ bhūpradeśakam
“Hãy đến hỏi Saṃvarta; ngài ấy sẽ nói cho các ông lời đáp đặt nền trên chân lý—chỉ rõ miền đất nhờ đó mà đạt được quả phúc của mọi tīrtha.”
Narrator (guiding sage)
Tirtha: (To be revealed by Saṃvarta) ‘sarvatīrtha-phala’ bhūpradeśa
Type: kshetra
Listener: The inquirers/seekers
Scene: The sage points the seekers onward, indicating ‘Saṃvarta’; in the background, a distant hermitage glows, suggesting the yogin’s presence as a living tīrtha; a scroll/map unfurls showing a ‘bhūpradeśa’.
Authentic spiritual knowledge is transmitted through realized teachers; inquiry (paripraśna) is itself a dharmic method.
A special bhūpradeśa is promised as equal to all tīrthas; the next verses connect Saṃvarta with Vārāṇasī (Kāśī).
The prescription is to approach and question Saṃvarta for correct guidance.
