तत्सर्वं जायते पुण्यं प्राणिनामस्य दर्शनात् । तस्मादेतन्महाक्षेत्रं पुराणादिषु गीयते
tatsarvaṃ jāyate puṇyaṃ prāṇināmasya darśanāt | tasmādetanmahākṣetraṃ purāṇādiṣu gīyate
这一切功德,众生但得此圣地之达尔善那(darśana,瞻礼)便能生起。因此,此处在诸《往世书》及其他经典中被歌颂为大圣域(mahā-kṣetra)。
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa discourse style)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A threshold moment: pilgrims behold Ayodhyā’s sacred skyline/ghāṭas; the very act of seeing is shown as generating luminous merit, while sages cite Purāṇic authority.
Even simple darśana of Ayodhyā generates vast puṇya, revealing the power of sacred geography.
Ayodhyā is explicitly upheld as a mahākṣetra praised across Purāṇic literature.
The emphasis is on darśana (reverent visitation/seeing) as itself a merit-generating act.
