The Māhātmya of Kṛṣṇagaṅgodbhava, Kāliñjara, and the Five Sacred Baths: The Tale of Pāñcāla and Tilottamā
चक्राङ्कितपदा तेन स्थानं ब्रह्मसमं शुभम् ॥ अन्यत्र हि कृतं पापं तीर्थमासाद्य गच्छति ॥
cakrāṅkitapadā tena sthānaṃ brahmasamaṃ śubham | anyatra hi kṛtaṃ pāpaṃ tīrtham āsādya gacchati ||
यह जगह बहुत अच्छी है क्योंकि यहाँ कृष्ण के पाँव के निशान हैं। यह जगह ब्रह्मा के स्थान के बराबर है। कहीं और की हुई गलती, जब किसी तीर्थ पर पहुँचे, तो चली जाती है।
