The Manifestation and Sanctifying Power of the Mathurā Tīrtha
कृत्वा प्रदक्षिणं देवि विश्रामं कुरुते तु यः॥ नारायणसमीपे तु सोऽनन्तफलमश्नुते॥
kṛtvā pradakṣiṇaṁ devi viśrāmaṁ kurute tu yaḥ || nārāyaṇasamīpe tu so'nantaphalam aśnute
देवी, जो कोई मंदिर के चारों तरफ चक्कर लगा के नारायण के पास बैठ जाता है, उसे अनंत फल मिलता है। यह बहुत बड़ा पुण्य है।
