तस्य स्पर्शेन ते सर्वे नरकस्था सुखं गताः । ते दूता धर्मराजाय वृत्तांतं नरको द्भवम् । आचख्युर्विस्मयाविष्टा नरकस्थानां सुखोद्भवम्
tasya sparśena te sarve narakasthā sukhaṃ gatāḥ | te dūtā dharmarājāya vṛttāṃtaṃ narako dbhavam | ācakhyurvismayāviṣṭā narakasthānāṃ sukhodbhavam
仅凭他的触碰,凡居于地狱者皆得安慰。使者们惊异不已,向法王(Dharmarāja)禀告这非凡之事——地狱众生之中竟生起了快乐。
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator within Arbuda Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Arbuda-tīrtha (Yama-priya tīrtha, implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Within a hell realm, the arrival/contact of the tīrtha-linked person causes flames to cool and faces to soften; yamadūtas look astonished as suffering turns to ease.
Purāṇic tīrthas can transmit extraordinary merit: even in hellish conditions, a divine/sacred influence may suspend suffering and reveal a higher law of grace.
Implicitly, the Arbuda tīrtha associated with Yama/Dharmarāja—its merit is so potent that its effect echoes even into naraka.
None stated; the emphasis is on the tīrtha’s mysterious efficacy rather than a specific rite.
