मनसापि स्मरेद्यस्तु भक्त्या ह्यमरकण्टकम् । चान्द्रायणाधिकं पुण्यं स लभेन्नात्र संशयः
manasāpi smaredyastu bhaktyā hyamarakaṇṭakam | cāndrāyaṇādhikaṃ puṇyaṃ sa labhennātra saṃśayaḥ
જે ભક્તિપૂર્વક મનમાં પણ અમરકંટકનું સ્મરણ કરે છે, તે ચાંદ્રાયણ વ્રત કરતાં પણ અધિક પુણ્ય પામે છે—એમાં સંશય નથી.
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Amarakāṇṭaka

Listener: Rājā
Scene: A devotee seated in meditation visualizes Amarakāṇṭaka’s sacred mountain and its Śiva shrine; the mountain appears as an inner vision with a luminous liṅga.
Bhakti transforms even mental remembrance into powerful merit when directed to a supremely sacred place.
Amarakaṇṭaka, revered as a highly meritorious sacred mountain and tīrtha-region.
The Cāndrāyaṇa vow is referenced as a benchmark; the verse teaches that remembrance of Amarakaṇṭaka surpasses it in merit.
