Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
सप्तगोदावरे स्नात्वा नियतो नियताशन: । महत् पुण्यमवाप्रोति देवलोक॑ च गच्छति,सप्तगोदावरतीर्थमें स्नान करके नियमपालनपूर्वक नियमित भोजन करनेवाला पुरुष महान् पुण्यलाभ करता और देवलोकमें जाता है
saptagodāvare snātvā niyato niyatāśanaḥ | mahat puṇyam avāpnoti devalokaṃ ca gacchati ||
普拉斯提亚宣说:凡在名为“七哥达瓦丽”(Saptagodāvarī)的圣渡口沐浴者,若能自持守戒、饮食有度,便可获得广大功德;以此果报,得生天界,往至诸神之世。
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Holy bathing at a tīrtha is presented as spiritually effective when paired with ethical discipline—restraint and regulated diet—yielding great merit and the promised fruit of reaching Devaloka.
In the tīrtha-māhātmya discourse of the Vana Parva, Pulastya is describing the benefits of specific pilgrimage sites; here he states the reward for bathing at Saptagodāvarī while observing vows and moderation.
