या गतिर्योगयुक्तानां वाराणस्यां तनुत्यजाम् । सा गतिः स्नानमात्रेण सरय्वां हरिवासरे
yā gatiryogayuktānāṃ vārāṇasyāṃ tanutyajām | sā gatiḥ snānamātreṇa sarayvāṃ harivāsare
瑜伽行者在瓦拉纳西舍身所证得的至上境界——在哈利之日,仅于萨拉尤河沐浴,亦能获得同一境界。
Varāha (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Sarayū (Ayodhyā)
Type: river
Scene: At dawn on Hari-vāsara, devotees bathe in Sarayū; above them appears a subtle vision of Vārāṇasī’s cremation-ghāṭ and yogins in samādhi, both merging into one luminous ‘gati’ symbol.
In Ayodhyā’s sphere, simple devotional acts like bathing in Sarayū can confer the highest spiritual goal.

Snāna (ritual bathing) in the Sarayū on Hari-vāsara (a day sacred to Viṣṇu, commonly understood as Ekādaśī/Viṣṇu’s observance day).
