Pulastya’s Instruction
शालिहोगत्रस्य तीर्थे च शालिसूर्ये यथाविधि । स््नात्वा नरवरश्रेष्ठ गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्,नरश्रेष्ठ शालिहोत्रके शालिसूर्य नामक तीर्थमें विधिपूर्वक स्नान करके मनुष्य सहस्र गोदानका फल पाता है
śālihotrasya tīrthe ca śālisūrye yathāvidhi | snātvā naravaraśreṣṭha gosahasraphalaṁ labhet ||
古拉斯底耶说道:“人中至善者啊,若依仪轨在沙利霍特罗(Śālihotra)之圣渡处——名为沙利苏利耶(Śālisūrya)的提尔塔——沐浴,便得与施舍千牛同等之功德。”
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Ritual action performed in the right way at a sanctified place—here, bathing at a specific tīrtha—can yield great spiritual merit, comparable to major acts of charity such as donating a thousand cows.
A speaker named Ghūlastya is describing the greatness of particular pilgrimage sites, stating that bathing according to prescribed rites at the Śālihotra tīrtha called Śālisūrya grants immense merit.
