Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
अग्निष्टोमातिरात्राभ्यां फलं प्राप्रोति मानव: । उस तीर्थमें स्नान करके शुद्ध एवं संयत चित्त हो मानव अतिरात्र और अमग्निष्टोम यज्ञोंका फल पाता है
agniṣṭomātirātrābhyāṁ phalaṁ prāpnoti mānavaḥ |
古拉斯底耶(Ghūlastya)说道:“人得阿耆尼什多摩(Agniṣṭoma)与阿底罗多罗(Atirātra)二祭之功德。若于此提尔他沐浴,身净心摄,则所获灵验之果,与行彼等伟大吠陀祭仪无异。”
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Inner purity and mental restraint, when joined to a sacred act like bathing at a tīrtha, can confer the same religious merit as elaborate Vedic sacrifices—highlighting accessibility of dharmic reward through disciplined conduct.
A speaker named Ghūlastya is describing the spiritual efficacy of a particular tīrtha: bathing there with a purified, controlled mind grants the fruit of the Agniṣṭoma and Atirātra yajñas.
