Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
Devanagari script
सर्वाश्रमाभिगमन सर्वतीर्थावगाहनम् । न तथा फलदं चापि नारायणकथा यथा,सम्पूर्ण ऋषि-आश्रमोंकी यात्रा करना और समस्त तीर्थोमें स्नान करना भी वैसा फल देनेवाला नहीं है, जैसा कि भगवान् नारायणकी कथा प्रदान करती है
Transliteration
sarvāśramābhigamanaṁ sarvatīrthāvagāhanam | na tathā phaladaṁ cāpi nārāyaṇakathā yathā ||
Translation
Janamejaya sprach: „Selbst alle Einsiedeleien der Weisen zu besuchen und an allen heiligen Furten zu baden, bringt keinen Ertrag, der dem gleichkäme, was die Erzählung von Nārāyaṇa verleiht. Das Hören und Weitergeben der Geschichte des Herrn übertrifft äußere Wallfahrten an geistlicher Wirkkraft.“
