Prabhāsa-kṣetra: Circuit of Tīrthas and Shrines Leading to Bhukti and Mokṣa
ऋषितीर्थं ततः प्राप्य स्नात्वा नियतमानसः । ऋषींस्तत्र समभ्यर्च्य सर्वतीर्थफलं लभेत् ॥ ४३ ॥
ṛṣitīrthaṃ tataḥ prāpya snātvā niyatamānasaḥ | ṛṣīṃstatra samabhyarcya sarvatīrthaphalaṃ labhet || 43 ||
继而抵达“仙圣圣渡”(Ṛṣi-tīrtha),当以调伏专注之心于彼处沐浴;并在该地如法礼敬诸仙(ṛṣi),便能获得一切圣地朝圣之果报。

It teaches that tīrtha-yātrā becomes spiritually complete when joined with inner discipline (niyata-manas) and reverent honoring of ṛṣis; such worship at R̥ṣi-tīrtha is said to yield the combined merit of all pilgrimage places.
Bhakti is expressed here as humble service and worship (samabhyarcya) directed toward the sages—guardians of dharma and transmitters of sacred knowledge—performed with a controlled mind, making the external act of pilgrimage an inward act of devotion.
It emphasizes ritual discipline: tīrtha-snānā (purificatory bathing) and proper arcana (reverential worship) performed with mental restraint—core principles of dharma-ācāra rather than a specific Vedāṅga like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa.
