अथ तेषां समस्तानां मार्गे गोष्पदमागतम् । जलपूर्णं समायातमकालजलदागमे
atha teṣāṃ samastānāṃ mārge goṣpadamāgatam | jalapūrṇaṃ samāyātamakālajaladāgame
Bấy giờ, trên con đường của tất cả họ bỗng hiện ra một hõm như dấu móng bò, đầy nước, do mây mưa đến trái thời mà thành.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa style narration within Māhātmya)
Tirtha: Goṣpada-tīrtha (implied by description)
Type: kund
Scene: On a dusty path, a small hoofprint-shaped depression gleams with clear water; above, unexpected rainclouds gather; the weary Vālakhilyas notice the water with wonder and relief.
On a dharmic journey, even small impediments can test resolve—steadfastness is part of merit.
No named tīrtha is specified in this verse; it describes a narrative obstacle on the way to the sacrificial ground.
None; the verse describes conditions on the route to a yajña.
