स्नात्वा पिंडान्वटे कृत्वा पूजयन्मां च सिद्धभाक् । सदा योऽभ्यर्चयेन्मां च ब्रह्मचारी जितेंद्रियः
snātvā piṃḍānvaṭe kṛtvā pūjayanmāṃ ca siddhabhāk | sadā yo'bhyarcayenmāṃ ca brahmacārī jiteṃdriyaḥ
沐浴之后,于榕树下奉献 piṇḍa 供养,并礼敬于我者,便成为成就(悉地)之受者。凡恒常礼拜于我、守梵行(brahmacarya)且降伏诸根者,必得圆满之果。

Tirtha: Siddhavaṭa (for piṇḍa) within Siddheyā-kṣetra
Type: ghat
Scene: A pilgrim bathes at a sacred water source, then under a vast banyan (Siddhavaṭa) offers piṇḍas on darbha, followed by worship at a shrine; the pilgrim is depicted as restrained and serene, with minimal possessions, embodying brahmacarya and sense-control.
Purity of conduct (brahmacarya, sense-control) combined with tīrtha-rituals (bath, offerings, worship) leads to siddhi and divine favor.
The Siddhakūpa area, with a sacred vaṭa (banyan) connected to ancestor offerings and worship.
Snāna (bathing), piṇḍa offerings at a banyan tree, and continuous worship (abhyarcana), especially with brahmacarya and sense-restraint.
