ततोऽन्यानि च मुख्यानि दृष्ट्वा चायतनानि सः । स्नात्वा तीर्थेष्वनेकेषु दत्त्वा दानान्यनेकशः
tato'nyāni ca mukhyāni dṛṣṭvā cāyatanāni saḥ | snātvā tīrtheṣvanekeṣu dattvā dānānyanekaśaḥ
Bấy giờ, sau khi chiêm bái các thánh điện trọng yếu khác, ông tắm gội tại nhiều bến thánh (tīrtha) và nhiều lần bố thí cúng dường.
Sūta (continuing narration, implied)
Tirtha: Multiple tīrthas within Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (unnamed here)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and other ṛṣis (frame implied)
Scene: A montage-like sequence: Daśaratha visits prominent sanctuaries (āyatanas), then proceeds from one tīrtha to another for snāna; attendants distribute alms—cloth, food, coins—to brāhmaṇas and the needy, with temple spires and water-steps recurring in the background.
A complete tīrtha-yātrā includes darśana of shrines, purifying baths, and dāna—integrating devotion, purity, and generosity.
The verse praises the broader tīrtha-network within the Śrī Hāṭakeśvara Kṣetra rather than a single named ford.
Snāna in many tīrthas and repeated dāna (charitable giving).
