तीर्थान्येतानि पुण्यानि यथा विश्रान्तिसंज्ञकम् ॥ एषु तीर्थेषु क्रमितो भक्तिमांश्च जितेन्द्रियः
tīrthāny etāni puṇyāni yathā viśrāntisaṁjñakam || eṣu tīrtheṣu kramito bhaktimāṁś ca jitendriyaḥ
पहले देवता और पितर की पूजा करो। फिर भगवान को प्रसन्न करो। अविमुक्तेश, देवता के स्वामी, सात रिशियों द्वारा सिफ़त किए गए हो।
