The Sacred Merit of Goniṣkramaṇa
the Tīrtha of the Cows’ Emergence/Release
श्लोकं वा यदि वा पादं यदीच्छेत् परमां गतिम्॥ तत्क्षेत्रं तु महाभागे पञ्चयोजनमण्डलम्॥
ślokaṃ vā yadi vā pādaṃ yadīcchet paramāṃ gatim || tatkṣetraṃ tu mahābhāge pañcayojanamaṇḍalam ||
चाहे पूरा श्लोक हो या बस आधा, अगर इंसान को मोक्ष चाहिए। वो जगह पाँच योजन तक फैली हुई है, बड़ी भाग्य वाली जगह है।
