Methods for the Removal of Sin and the Eulogy of Prabodhinī Ekādaśī/Dvādaśī
तस्मात् सुनियतैर्भाव्यं वैष्णवं मार्गमास्पदम्॥ दुर्ल्लभं वैष्णवत्वं हि त्रिषु लोकेषु सुन्दरी॥
tasmāt suniyatair bhāvyaṃ vaiṣṇavaṃ mārgam āspadam || durlabhaṃ vaiṣṇavatvaṃ hi triṣu lokeṣu sundarī ||
इसलिए अपने आप को संभाल के रखना। विष्णु के धरम को अपना लो, यही सही रास्ता है। सुंदरी, यह बात समझ लो। तीनों दुनिया में विष्णु का भक्त बनना बहुत मुश्किल है। यह आसान नहीं मिलता।
Varāha (addressing Pṛthivī as sundarī)
