Praise of the Malayārjuna Sacred Ford and the Mathurā-Yamunā Pilgrimage Cycle
यस्तत्र कुरुते स्नानमेक रात्रोषितो नरः ॥ स मत्प्रसादात्सुश्रोणि वीरलोके महीयते ॥
yas tatra kurute snānam eka-rātroṣito naraḥ || sa matprasādāt suśroṇi vīraloke mahīyate |
जो कोई वहाँ एक रात रुक के नहाता है, वो मेरे करन बढ़ता है। वो लोगों में बड़ा माना जाता है। मेरा आशीर्वाद उसे मिलता है।
