The Sacred Merit of Goniṣkramaṇa
the Tīrtha of the Cows’ Emergence/Release
अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम् ॥ पञ्चयज्ञफलं भुक्त्वा मम लोकं प्रपद्यते ॥
athātra muñcate prāṇān kṛtvā karma suduṣkaram || pañcayajñaphalaṃ bhuktvā mama lokaṃ prapadyate ||
फिर यहाँ बहुत मुश्किल काम करके इंसान अपनी जान छोड़ देता है। पाँच यज्ञ का फल मिलने के बाद वो मेरे पास आता है।
