Description of the Māhātmya of Gokarṇeśvara and Jaleśvara (Śaileśvara) in the Śleṣmātaka Forest
आहृतस्याग्निहोत्रस्य यत्फलं तस्य तद्भवेत् ॥ तस्यास्तीरे जलोद्भेदं मन्मूलादभिनिःसृतम्
āhṛtasyāgnihotrasya yatphalaṁ tasya tad bhavet || tasyās tīre jalodbhedaṁ manmūlād abhiniḥsṛtam
जैसे अग्निहोत्र यज्ञ करने का फल मिलता है, वैसा ही फल इस से भी मिलता है। उस तीर पर पानी निकलता है जो मेरे से ही आता है।
