FAQs
It teaches that a tirtha’s power is accessed through both ritual action (snāna—bathing) and inner practice (smaraṇa—remembering the sacred Rudrakoṭi), linking external pilgrimage with internal devotion.
By emphasizing smaraṇa (remembrance) alongside bathing, the verse points to bhakti as mindful recollection of the divine presence at a holy place, not merely physical travel or ritual.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is implied: performing tīrtha-snānā and the accompanying smaraṇa as part of prescribed pilgrimage conduct to obtain spiritual merit (puṇya).
