Methods for the Removal of Sin and the Eulogy of Prabodhinī Ekādaśī/Dvādaśī
पश्ये च धीमानधनोऽपि भक्त्या स्पृशेन्मनुष्यं इह चिन्त्यमानः॥ शृणोति भक्तस्य मतिं ददाति विकल्मषः सोऽपि दिवं प्रयाति॥
paśye ca dhīmān adhanो ’pi bhaktyā spṛśen manuṣyaṃ iha cintyamānaḥ || śṛṇoti bhaktasya matiṃ dadāti vikalmaṣaḥ so ’pi divaṃ prayāti ||
मैं देखता हूँ कि जो भी मुझे याद करता है, भले वो गरीब हो, मैं उसको अपनी नज़र से देखता हूँ। जो इंसान भक्ति से मेरे पास आता है, मैं उसकी बात सुनता हूँ और उसे समझ देता हूँ। उसके सारे पाप खत्म हो जाते हैं और वो स्वर्ग जाता है।
