The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
यस्त्रिरात्रमुषित्वा तु नियते नियता शनः ॥ राजसूयफलं प्राप्य मोदते देववद्दिवि
yas trirātram uṣitvā tu niyate niyatā śanaḥ || rājasūyaphalaṃ prāpya modate devavad divi
जो कोई तीन रात यहाँ रहता है, अपना काम सही से करता है। वो धीरे-धीरे बड़ा फल पाता है। स्वर्ग में वो खुश रहता है, जैसे कोई देवता हो।

FAQs
It exemplifies the Purāṇic ‘merit equivalence’ motif, where residence at a site is said to yield results comparable to major royal sacrifices such as the Rājasūya.
The specific site name is not given in this line; it presupposes the chapter’s described kṣetra, framing it as a place where short-term residence yields high merit.
Merit is linked to niyama—regulated behavior—rather than mere presence, emphasizing disciplined observance during pilgrimage.
