The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
तीर्थं तु कुमुदाकारं तस्मिन् कुब्जाम्रके स्थितम् ॥ स्नानमात्रेण सुश्रोणि स्वर्गं प्राप्नोति मानवः ॥
tīrthaṃ tu kumudākāraṃ tasmin kubjāmrake sthitam || snānamātreṇa suśroṇi svargaṃ prāpnoti mānavaḥ ||
कुब्जाम्रक में एक तीर्थ है जो कमल जैसा दिखता है। वहाँ सिर्फ नहा कर भी इंसान स्वर्ग पहुँच जाता है।
