Hồ ấy trải rộng, điểm tô bởi làn sóng lăn tăn, có năng lực tẩy trừ cấu uế. Trong lòng hồ chen chúc những cụm hoa súng, hoa sen nước—kumuda, utpala, kahlāra và puṇḍarīka—làm rạng ngời vẻ đẹp của nơi linh thiêng.
Narrator (contextual; before the explicit dialogue begins)
Tirtha: Brahma-kuṇḍa
Type: kund
Scene: A wide sacred pool with rippling waves, radiating purity; its surface is crowded with lotus varieties—kumuda, utpala, kahlāra, puṇḍarīka—forming a fragrant, luminous tapestry.
A true tīrtha is both beautiful and purifying—its very presence is said to remove inner and outer defilement.
A sacred kuṇḍa/saras described within Ayodhyāmāhātmya (Ayodhyā section) of the Skanda Purāṇa.
No direct ritual is prescribed here; the verse sets up the tīrtha’s purifying nature, implying the value of snāna (bathing).
