यस्योत्पत्तिर्मया पूर्वं कथिता द्विजसत्तमाः । यस्य संस्मरणादेव कीर्तनात्पापनाशनम्
yasyotpattirmayā pūrvaṃ kathitā dvijasattamāḥ | yasya saṃsmaraṇādeva kīrtanātpāpanāśanam
Hỡi các bậc Brāhmaṇa tối thượng, nguồn gốc của tīrtha ấy ta đã kể từ trước. Chỉ cần tưởng niệm và xưng tụng ca ngợi thôi cũng diệt trừ tội lỗi.
Prahlāda
Tirtha: Vaiṣṇavī / Viṣṇupadodbhava tīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Dvija-sattamāḥ (brāhmaṇas)
Scene: A group of brāhmaṇas seated near the tīrtha, reciting its origin and singing praises; the water-source glimmers while subtle sin-symbols (darkness) dissipate into light.
Contact with sacredness can be mental and verbal: smaraṇa (remembrance) and kīrtana (praise) are themselves purifying acts.
The same Viṣṇupadodbhava tīrtha referenced in the immediate context of Adhyāya 11.
Remember the tīrtha and recite its praise (kīrtana) as a means of destroying sin.
