55) Visva Teerttha agha haarine
Sri VenkatEsAya nama:
Salutations to Lord VenkatEsa ,
who destroys the sins of the holy waters of the world !
The glory of Swamy Pushkarini has
already been indicated elsewhere. These waters owe their origin to
Srivaikunttam and are holy beyond description. The Lord has delegated to this
Pushkarini the power of destroying the sins of not only those who have a holy
dip in it, but also the sins of the holy waters all over the globe, which, in
the process of purifying sinning mortals bathing in them, accumulate quite a
stock of their misdeeds, akin to sediments of dirt. To rid themselves of such
a benumbing baggage, these waters seek refuge in the Swami Pushkarini on the
Dvaadasi day of Shukla Paksha of Margazhi month, before sunrise. Purified
and restored to their original state of sacredness by association with the
Swami Pushkarini, these waters then return to their original abodes, to resume
their mission of cleansing people of physical and spiritual dirt.
This is brought out by the following sloka from the Vamana Purana, as narrated
by Brahma to Maarkandeya--
"paapam sveshu vinirmuktam
lokai: agha samanvitai:
nirharanteeha teertthaani
tasyaa: teerttha samanvayaat
Markandeya! mahaa bhaaga
bhuvana traya vaasinaam"
