82. tatra haṃsaprapatanam tīrtham trailokyaviśrutam
daśāśvamedhikam ca eva gaṅgāyām kurunandana
82. kurunandana tatra gaṅgāyām trailokyaviśrutam
haṃsaprapatanam tīrtham ca eva daśāśvamedhikam
82. O delight of the Kurus (Kurunandana), there on the Ganges is the sacred place (tīrtha) known as Haṃsaprapatana, which is renowned throughout the three worlds. There is also the Daśāśvamedhika (site, associated with ten Aṣvamedha Vedic rituals).
यत्र गङ्गा महाराज स देशस्तत्तपोवनम् ।
सिद्धक्षेत्रं तु तज्ज्ञेयं गङ्गातीरसमाश्रितम् ॥८३॥
83. yatra gaṅgā mahārāja sa deśastattapovanam ,
siddhakṣetraṁ tu tajjñeyaṁ gaṅgātīrasamāśritam.
83. yatra gaṅgā mahārāja saḥ deśaḥ tat tapovanam
siddhakṣetram tu tat jñeyam gaṅgātīrasamāśritam
83. Where the Ganga (Gaṅgā) flows, O great king, that region is a hermitage (tapovanam). Indeed, that should be known as a holy place (siddhakṣetra), being situated on the bank of the Ganga.
इदं सत्यं द्विजातीनां साधूनामात्मजस्य च ।
सुहृदां च जपेत्कर्णे शिष्यस्यानुगतस्य च ॥८४॥
84. idaṁ satyaṁ dvijātīnāṁ sādhūnāmātmajasya ca ,
suhṛdāṁ ca japetkarṇe śiṣyasyānugatasya ca.
84. idam satyam dvijātīnām sādhūnām ātmajasya ca
suhṛdām ca japet karṇe śiṣyasya anugatasya ca
84. One should whisper this truth into the ear of the twice-born (dvijāti), the virtuous (sādhu), one's own son (ātmaja), friends (suhṛd), and a devoted disciple (śiṣya).
इदं धर्म्यमिदं पुण्यमिदं मेध्यमिदं सुखम् ।
इदं स्वर्ग्यमिदं रम्यमिदं पावनमुत्तमम् ॥८५॥
85. idaṁ dharmyamidaṁ puṇyamidaṁ medhyamidaṁ sukham ,
idaṁ svargyamidaṁ ramyamidaṁ pāvanamuttamam.
85. idam dharmyam idam puṇyam idam medhyam idam sukham
idam svargyam idam ramyam idam pāvanam uttamam
85. This is righteous (dharmya), this is meritorious, this is pure, this is happiness. This leads to heaven, this is delightful, this is the supreme purifier.
महर्षीणामिदं गुह्यं सर्वपापप्रमोचनम् ।
अधीत्य द्विजमध्ये च निर्मलत्वमवाप्नुयात् ॥८६॥
86. maharṣīṇāmidaṁ guhyaṁ sarvapāpapramocanam ,
adhītya dvijamadhye ca nirmalatvamavāpnuyāt.
86. maharṣīṇām idam guhyam sarvapāpapramocanam
adhītya dvijamadhye ca nirmalatvam avāpnuyāt
86. This is the secret of the great sages (maharṣi) and the liberator from all sins. Having studied this among the twice-born (dvija), one attains purity.
यश्चेदं शृणुयान्नित्यं तीर्थपुण्यं सदा शुचिः ।
जातीः स स्मरते बह्वीर्नाकपृष्ठे च मोदते ॥८७॥
87. yaścedaṁ śṛṇuyānnityaṁ tīrthapuṇyaṁ sadā śuciḥ ,
jātīḥ sa smarate bahvīrnākapṛṣṭhe ca modate.
87. yaḥ ca idam śṛṇuyāt nityam tīrthapuṇyam sadā śuciḥ
| jātīḥ sa smarate bahvīḥ nākapṛṣṭhe ca modate
87. And whoever constantly listens to this sacred account of pilgrimage (tīrtha), always remaining pure, remembers many past lives (jātīḥ) and rejoices in heaven.
गम्यान्यपि च तीर्थानि कीर्तितान्यगमानि च ।
मनसा तानि गच्छेत सर्वतीर्थसमीक्षया ॥८८॥
88. gamyānyapi ca tīrthāni kīrtitānyagamāni ca ,
manasā tāni gaccheta sarvatīrthasamīkṣayā.
88. gamyāni api ca tīrthāni kīrtitāni agmāni ca
| manasā tāni gaccheta sarvatīrthasamīkṣayā
88. Even the accessible places of pilgrimage (tīrtha), and also those that have been described but are inaccessible, one should visit them mentally, with the intention of seeing all places of pilgrimage.
एतानि वसुभिः साध्यैरादित्यैर्मरुदश्विभिः ।
ऋषिभिर्देवकल्पैश्च श्रितानि सुकृतैषिभिः ॥८९॥
89. etāni vasubhiḥ sādhyairādityairmarudaśvibhiḥ ,
ṛṣibhirdevakalpaiśca śritāni sukṛtaiṣibhiḥ.
89. etāni vasubhiḥ sādhyaiḥ ādityaiḥ marutaśvibhiḥ
| ṛṣibhiḥ devakalpaiḥ ca śritāni sukṛtaiṣibhiḥ
89. These (places of pilgrimage) are frequented by the Vasus, Sādhyas, Ādityas, Maruts, and Aśvins, as well as by sages (ṛṣi) who are like gods, and by those who seek good deeds.
एवं त्वमपि कौरव्य विधिनानेन सुव्रत ।
व्रज तीर्थानि नियतः पुण्यं पुण्येन वर्धते ॥९०॥
90. evaṁ tvamapi kauravya vidhinānena suvrata ,
vraja tīrthāni niyataḥ puṇyaṁ puṇyena vardhate.
90. evam tvam api kauravya vidhinā anena suvrata |
vraja tīrthāni niyataḥ puṇyam puṇyena vardhate
90. Therefore, O scion of Kuru (Kauravya), O performer of good vows, you too should go to the places of pilgrimage (tīrtha) with this prescribed method, for merit (puṇya) increases through merit.
भावितैः कारणैः पूर्वमास्तिक्याच्छ्रुतिदर्शनात् ।
प्राप्यन्ते तानि तीर्थानि सद्भिः शिष्टानुदर्शिभिः ॥९१॥
91. bhāvitaiḥ kāraṇaiḥ pūrvamāstikyācchrutidarśanāt ,
prāpyante tāni tīrthāni sadbhiḥ śiṣṭānudarśibhiḥ.
91. bhāvitaiḥ kāraṇaiḥ pūrvam āstikyāt śrutidarśanāt
prāpyante tāni tīrthāni sadbhiḥ śiṣṭānudarśibhiḥ
91. Those sacred places (tīrtha) are attained by virtuous individuals who follow the example of the disciplined, based on previously understood reasons, stemming from their faith (śraddhā) and insights derived from the scriptures.
नाव्रतो नाकृतात्मा च नाशुचिर्न च तस्करः ।
स्नाति तीर्थेषु कौरव्य न च वक्रमतिर्नरः ॥९२॥
92. nāvrato nākṛtātmā ca nāśucirna ca taskaraḥ ,
snāti tīrtheṣu kauravya na ca vakramatirnaraḥ.
92. na avrataḥ na akṛtātmā ca na aśuciḥ na ca taskaraḥ
snāti tīrtheṣu kauravya na ca vakramatiḥ naraḥ
92. O scion of Kuru, a person who is without vows, undisciplined, impure, a thief, or crooked-minded does not truly bathe in the sacred places (tīrtha).
त्वया तु सम्यग्वृत्तेन नित्यं धर्मार्थदर्शिना ।
पितरस्तारितास्तात सर्वे च प्रपितामहाः ॥९३॥
93. tvayā tu samyagvṛttena nityaṁ dharmārthadarśinā ,
pitarastāritāstāta sarve ca prapitāmahāḥ.
93. tvayā tu samyak vṛttena nityam dharmārthadarśinā
pitaraḥ tāritāḥ tāta sarve ca prapitāmahāḥ
93. Indeed, by you, my dear one, who always maintain proper conduct and have insight into natural law (dharma) and material welfare (artha), all your ancestors and great-grandfathers have been liberated.
पितामहपुरोगाश्च देवाः सर्षिगणा नृप ।
तव धर्मेण धर्मज्ञ नित्यमेवाभितोषिताः ॥९४॥
94. pitāmahapurogāśca devāḥ sarṣigaṇā nṛpa ,
tava dharmeṇa dharmajña nityamevābhitoṣitāḥ.
94. pitāmahapurogāḥ ca devāḥ sarṣigaṇāḥ nṛpa tava
dharmeṇa dharmajña nityam eva abhitoṣitāḥ
94. O king, O knower of natural law (dharma), the gods - headed by the grandfathers and accompanied by hosts of sages - have always been greatly satisfied by your adherence to natural law (dharma).
अवाप्स्यसि च लोकान्वै वसूनां वासवोपम ।
कीर्तिं च महतीं भीष्म प्राप्स्यसे भुवि शाश्वतीम् ॥९५॥
95. avāpsyasi ca lokānvai vasūnāṁ vāsavopama ,
kīrtiṁ ca mahatīṁ bhīṣma prāpsyase bhuvi śāśvatīm.
95. avāpsyasi ca lokān vai vasūnām vāsavopama kīrtim
ca mahatīm bhīṣma prāpsyase bhuvi śāśvatīm
95. O Bhishma, you who are like Indra, you will indeed attain the realms of the Vasus and will also acquire great, everlasting fame on Earth.
नारद उवाच ।
एवमुक्त्वाभ्यनुज्ञाप्य पुलस्त्यो भगवानृषिः ।
प्रीतः प्रीतेन मनसा तत्रैवान्तरधीयत ॥९६॥
96. nārada uvāca ,
evamuktvābhyanujñāpya pulastyo bhagavānṛṣiḥ ,
prītaḥ prītena manasā tatraivāntaradhīyata.
96. nārada uvāca evam uktvā abhyanujñāpya pulastyaḥ bhagavān
ṛṣiḥ prītaḥ prītena manasā tatra eva antaradhīyata
96. Narada said: "Having thus spoken and having taken leave, the venerable sage Pulastya, pleased in his mind, disappeared right there."
भीष्मश्च कुरुशार्दूल शास्त्रतत्त्वार्थदर्शिवान् ।
पुलस्त्यवचनाच्चैव पृथिवीमनुचक्रमे ॥९७॥
97. bhīṣmaśca kuruśārdūla śāstratattvārthadarśivān ,
pulastyavacanāccaiva pṛthivīmanucakrame.
97. bhīṣmaḥ ca kuruśārdūla śāstratattvārthadarśivān
pulastyavacanāt ca eva pṛthivīm anucakrame
97. And Bhishma, O tiger among the Kurus, who was discerning of the true meaning of the scriptures, indeed set forth upon the Earth according to the words of Pulastya.
अनेन विधिना यस्तु पृथिवीं संचरिष्यति ।
अश्वमेधशतस्याग्र्यं फलं प्रेत्य स भोक्ष्यते ॥९८॥
98. anena vidhinā yastu pṛthivīṁ saṁcariṣyati ,
aśvamedhaśatasyāgryaṁ phalaṁ pretya sa bhokṣyate.
98. anena vidhinā yaḥ tu pṛthivīm saṃcariṣyati
aśvamedhaśatasya āgryam phalam pretya saḥ bhokṣyate
98. anena vidhinā yaḥ tu pṛthivīm saṃcariṣyati saḥ
pretya aśvamedhaśatasya āgryam phalam bhokṣyate
98. But whoever traverses the earth in this manner will, after death, enjoy the excellent fruit of a hundred Aṣvamedha (Vedic ritual)s.
अतश्चाष्टगुणं पार्थ प्राप्स्यसे धर्ममुत्तमम् ।
नेता च त्वमृषीन्यस्मात्तेन तेऽष्टगुणं फलम् ॥९९॥
99. ataścāṣṭaguṇaṁ pārtha prāpsyase dharmamuttamam ,
netā ca tvamṛṣīnyasmāttena te'ṣṭaguṇaṁ phalam.
99. ataḥ ca aṣṭaguṇam pārtha prāpsyase dharmam uttamam
netā ca tvam ṛṣīn yasmāt tena te aṣṭaguṇam phalam
99. Therefore, O Pārtha, you will achieve an excellent natural law (dharma) that brings an eightfold benefit. And because you are the leader of the sages, an eightfold reward (phalam) will be yours for that reason.
रक्षोगणावकीर्णानि तीर्थान्येतानि भारत ।
न गतिर्विद्यतेऽन्यस्य त्वामृते कुरुनन्दन ॥१००॥
100. rakṣogaṇāvakīrṇāni tīrthānyetāni bhārata ,
na gatirvidyate'nyasya tvāmṛte kurunandana.
100. rakṣogaṇa avakīrṇāni tīrthāni etāni bhārata
na gatiḥ vidyate anyasya tvām ṛte kurunandana
100. O Bhārata, these holy places are infested by hordes of Rākṣasas. No one else has access to them, O delight of the Kurus, except for you.
इदं देवर्षिचरितं सर्वतीर्थार्थसंश्रितम् ।
यः पठेत्कल्यमुत्थाय सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥१०१॥

ऋषिमुख्याः सदा यत्र वाल्मीकिस्त्वथ काश्यपः ।
आत्रेयस्त्वथ कौण्डिन्यो विश्वामित्रोऽथ गौतमः ॥१०२॥

ātreyastvatha kauṇḍinyo viśvāmitro'tha gautamaḥ.
102. ṛṣimukhyāḥ sadā yatra vālmīkiḥ tu atha kāśyapaḥ

durvāsāśca muniśreṣṭho gālavaśca mahātapāḥ.
104. śaunakaḥ saha putreṇa vyāsaḥ ca japatām varaḥ
durvāsāḥ ca muniśreṣṭhaḥ gālavaḥ ca mahātapāḥ
104. Also present are Shaunaka with his son, Vyasa - the best among those who recite sacred formulas (mantra) - Durvasa - the most excellent of sages (muni) - and Gālava, who possesses great ascetic power (tapas).
एते ऋषिवराः सर्वे त्वत्प्रतीक्षास्तपोधनाः ।
एभिः सह महाराज तीर्थान्येतान्यनुव्रज ॥१०५॥
105. ete ṛṣivarāḥ sarve tvatpratīkṣāstapodhanāḥ ,
ebhiḥ saha mahārāja tīrthānyetānyanuvraja.
105. ete ṛṣivarāḥ sarve tvatpratīkṣāḥ tapodhanāḥ
ebhiḥ saha mahārāja tīrthāni etāni anuvraja
105. All these excellent sages (ṛṣi), whose wealth consists of their ascetic power (tapas), are waiting for you. Therefore, O great king (mahārāja), journey to these sacred places (tīrtha) along with them.
एष वै लोमशो नाम देवर्षिरमितद्युतिः ।
समेष्यति त्वया चैव तेन सार्धमनुव्रज ॥१०६॥

मया च सह धर्मज्ञ तीर्थान्येतान्यनुव्रज ।
प्राप्स्यसे महतीं कीर्तिं यथा राजा महाभिषः ॥१०७॥
107. mayā ca saha dharmajña tīrthānyetānyanuvraja ,

ख्यातिं यास्यसि धर्मेण कार्तवीर्यार्जुनो यथा ॥११२॥

युधिष्ठिरोऽपि धर्मात्मा तमेवार्थं विचिन्तयन् ।
तीर्थयात्राश्रयं पुण्यमृषीणां प्रत्यवेदयत् ॥११४॥

tīrthayātrāśrayaṁ puṇyamṛṣīṇāṁ pratyavedayat.

tīrthayātrāśrayam puṇyam ṛṣīṇām pratyavedayat
