ब्रह्मकुण्डमिति ख्यातं सर्वपापहरं शुभम् । तत्तीरे स्थापयामास सहस्रकिरणं प्रभुम्
brahmakuṇḍamiti khyātaṃ sarvapāpaharaṃ śubham | tattīre sthāpayāmāsa sahasrakiraṇaṃ prabhum
Thánh địa ấy nổi danh là “Brahmakuṇḍa”, cát tường và trừ diệt mọi tội lỗi. Trên bờ ấy, Ngài đã an vị Đấng Chúa của ngàn tia sáng—Thần Mặt Trời.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice within Dvārakā Māhātmya; specific speaker not stated in the excerpt)
Tirtha: Brahmakuṇḍa
Type: kund
Scene: A serene sacred pond labeled Brahmakuṇḍa; Brahmā consecrates a radiant Sūrya image on the bank—Sūrya with lotus, halo of a thousand rays—while pilgrims and devas witness the auspicious act.
A tīrtha becomes a conduit of purification when consecrated by divine agency and linked to deities like Sūrya.
Brahmakuṇḍa, a celebrated tīrtha in the Dvārakā Māhātmya.
The verse highlights consecration—installing Sūrya on the bank of Brahmakuṇḍa; bathing merit is implied by ‘sarvapāpahara’.
