तत्र यः कुरुते स्नानं प्रतिपद्दिवसे स्थिते । सूर्यवारेण मुच्येत यक्ष्मणा सेवितोऽपि वा
tatra yaḥ kurute snānaṃ pratipaddivase sthite | sūryavāreṇa mucyeta yakṣmaṇā sevito'pi vā
Ai tắm tại đó vào ngày Pratipad, nếu nhằm Chủ nhật, thì được giải thoát, dù đang bị Yakṣma (bệnh lao) hành hạ.
Sūta (continuing narration)
Type: ghat
Scene: Pilgrims bathe at a serene tīrtha on Pratipad under a radiant Sunday sun; a formerly sick devotee emerges renewed, while priests chant on the bank.
A tīrtha’s grace, approached with proper time and faith, is said to dissolve even severe afflictions.
Yakṣma-tīrtha (within the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya of Nāgara Khaṇḍa).
Perform snāna at the tīrtha on Pratipad, specifically when it coincides with Sunday (Sūryavāra).
