The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
मुक्तिक्षेत्रं प्रथमतॊ रुरुखण्डं ततः परम् ॥ सम्भेदो देवनद्यॊश्च त्रिवेणी च ततः परम् ॥
mukti-kṣetraṃ prathamato rurukhaṇḍaṃ tataḥ param | sambhedo devanadyoś ca triveṇī ca tataḥ param ||
पहले मुक्ति-क्षेत्र आता है। उसके बाद रुरुखंड आता है। फिर दो पवित्र नदियों का मिलन होता है। उसके बाद त्रिवेणी आती है।
