Tirtha: Sukūṇḍa
Type: kund
Scene: A devotee completes a Kārttika bath in a bright stepped pond labeled Sukūṇḍa; the figure is shown later as a serene dvija with sacred thread, indicating rebirth fruit; the pond radiates auspicious light.
Correct performance of tīrtha-bathing in Kārttika yields powerful puṇya shaping future birth and spiritual status.
The ‘holy pond’ (sukuṇḍa) in this chapter’s context is Brahmakuṇḍa.
Proper snāna (ritual bathing) at the kuṇḍa specifically in the month of Kārttika.
