योगध्यानरतो नित्यं विष्णुभक्तिपरायणः । स कदाचित्तीर्थयात्रां कुर्वन्वैष्णवसत्तमः । अयोध्यामागतो विष्णुर्विष्णुःसाक्षाद्वसेदिति
yogadhyānarato nityaṃ viṣṇubhaktiparāyaṇaḥ | sa kadācittīrthayātrāṃ kurvanvaiṣṇavasattamaḥ | ayodhyāmāgato viṣṇurviṣṇuḥsākṣādvasediti
Luôn an trú trong yoga và thiền định, trọn lòng nương tựa bhakti đối với Viṣṇu, vị Vaiṣṇava tối thượng ấy có lần lên đường hành hương các thánh địa. Ông đến Ayodhyā, tự nhủ: “Chính tại đây, Viṣṇu—đích thân Ngài—ngự trị.”
Agastya
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (Sāketa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Vyāsa
Scene: Viṣṇuśarman, a meditative Vaiṣṇava pilgrim, arrives at Ayodhyā with staff and waterpot, eyes calm from yoga; in his thought-bubble/gesture is the resolve: ‘Here Viṣṇu dwells in person.’ The city’s temples and the river landscape welcome him.
Bhakti matures into pilgrimage: the devotee seeks the Lord not only inwardly through meditation but outwardly by visiting the Lord’s cherished kṣetra.
Ayodhyā is glorified as a place where Viṣṇu is believed to dwell sākṣāt—personally and tangibly present.
Pilgrimage (tīrthayātrā) is indicated, though no step-by-step rite is detailed in this verse.
