Merits of Mathurā-Region Tīrthas
यत्र स्नातान्मनुष्यांश्च विघ्नराजो न पीडयेत्॥ अष्टम्यां च चतुर्दश्यां चतुर्थ्यां तु विशेषतः॥
yatra snātān manuṣyāṃś ca vighnarājo na pīḍayet | aṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśyāṃ caturthyāṃ tu viśeṣataḥ ||
जहाँ लोग नहाते हैं, वहाँ विघ्नराजा किसी को तकलीफ नहीं देता। आठवीं तारीख में, चौदहवीं में, और खास करके चौथी में यह बात पक्की है।
