The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
अग्नितीर्थमिति ख्यातं सिद्धं कुब्जाम्रके स्थितम् ॥ यद्वै प्रज्ञायते देवि द्वादश्यां पापवर्जितैः ॥
agnitīrtham iti khyātaṃ siddhaṃ kubjāmrake sthitam || yad vai prajñāyate devi dvādaśyāṃ pāpa-varjitaiḥ
देवी, अग्नितीर्थ नाम का एक जगह है। वो कुब्जाम्रक में है। द्वादशी को जो लोग पाप से मुक्त होके जाते हैं, वो वहाँ कुछ समझते हैं।
