Description of the Pilgrimage to the Sacred Tīrthas
Kurukṣetra-yātrā-krama
विमलं नाम विख्यातं यत्र सन्निहितो हरिः । विमले तु नरः स्नात्वा दृष्ट्वा च विमलेश्वरम् ॥ १४ ॥
vimalaṃ nāma vikhyātaṃ yatra sannihito hariḥ | vimale tu naraḥ snātvā dṛṣṭvā ca vimaleśvaram || 14 ||
有一处著名圣地名为“毗摩罗”(Vimala),哈利(毗湿奴)在此现前。凡在毗摩罗沐浴,并瞻礼毗摩罗自在天(Vimaleśvara)者,得身心清净与福德功德。

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches that certain tīrthas are not merely geographic sites but living presences of the Divine; bathing (snāna) and darśana there are presented as direct means of inner purification and merit.
Bhakti is expressed through reverent pilgrimage actions—approaching Hari’s presence, bathing with faith, and taking darśana of Vimaleśvara—showing devotion as embodied practice, not only belief.
Ritual practice (kalpa-oriented conduct) is implied: tīrtha-snana and deity-darśana as prescribed acts; the verse functions like a concise ritual injunction about what to do at Vimala.
