The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
दशानां पुण्डरीकाणां फलं प्राप्नोति मानवः ॥ भुक्त्वा यज्ञफलं तत्र जातिशुद्धो महातपाः ॥
daśānāṃ puṇḍarīkāṇāṃ phalaṃ prāpnoti mānavaḥ || bhuktvā yajña-phalaṃ tatra jāti-śuddho mahā-tapāḥ
इंसान को दस पुंडरिक यज्ञ का फल मिलता है। वहाँ यज्ञ का फल भोग के, उसकी जाति साफ हो जाती है। वो बड़ा तपस्वी बन जाता है।
