The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
अथात्र मुंचते प्राणान्वीतरागो गतक्लमः ॥ भुक्त्वा वैद्याधरान्भोगान्मम लोकं स गच्छति ॥
athātra muñcate prāṇān vītarāgo gataklamaḥ | bhuktvā vaidyādharān bhogān mama lokaṃ sa gacchati ||
फिर अगर कोई वहाँ जान दे, बिना किसी चिचा के, थका हुआ नहीं, तो विद्याधरों के मज़े ले के मेरे पास आता है।
