अगस्त्य उवाच । अहो महदथाश्चर्य्यं विस्मयो मुनिसत्तम । दृष्ट्वा प्रभावं मेऽद्याभूदयोध्यायास्तपोधन
agastya uvāca | aho mahadathāścaryyaṃ vismayo munisattama | dṛṣṭvā prabhāvaṃ me'dyābhūdayodhyāyāstapodhana
Agastya nói: Ôi bậc hiền triết tối thượng, thật là kỳ diệu lớn lao! Hôm nay thấy uy quang của Ayodhyā, lòng ta dấy lên niềm kinh ngạc, hỡi bậc tu khổ hạnh giàu công đức.
Agastya
Tirtha: Ayodhyā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka-group (implied)
Scene: Agastya responds with exclamation—marveling at Ayodhyā’s power; his face shows astonishment and devotional awe as he addresses Vyāsa, the great ascetic.
Direct encounter with a holy place can awaken profound wonder that becomes the doorway to deeper inquiry and devotion.
Ayodhyā—praised for its extraordinary spiritual majesty (prabhāva).
None explicitly; the verse sets the devotional mood before details of pilgrimage practices are requested.
