The Efficacy and Merit of Cakra-tīrtha
कल्पग्रामाच्छतगुणं चक्रतीर्थं वसुन्धरे ॥ अहोरात्रोपवासेन मुच्यते ब्रह्महत्यया ॥
kalpagrāmāc chataguṇaṃ cakratīrthaṃ vasundhare | ahorātro-pavāsena mucyate brahmahatyayā ||
धरती माँ, चक्रतीर्थ कल्पग्राम से सौ गुना ज़्यादा पावरफुल है। एक दिन और एक रात का व्रत रखने से ब्रह्मा हत्या जैसा बड़ा पाप भी माफ़ हो जाता है।
