Description of the Māhātmya of Gokarṇeśvara and Jaleśvara (Śaileśvara) in the Śleṣmātaka Forest
वाग्मत्याः सलिले स्नात्वा ये मां पश्यन्ति संस्कृताः॥ तेषां शान्तिर्भवेन्नित्यं पुरुषाणां न संशयः॥
vāgmatyāḥ salile snātvā ye māṃ paśyanti saṃskṛtāḥ || teṣāṃ śāntir bhaven nityaṃ puruṣāṇāṃ na saṃśayaḥ
वाग्मती नदी में नहा के जो लोग मुझे देख लेते हैं, उन्हे शांति मिलती है। यह बात पक्की है, कोई शक नहीं।

It documents the Purāṇic mapping of sacred rivers and the linkage between pilgrimage bathing and the ideal of inner tranquility.
Vāgmatī is named as the river; multiple regions have rivers with this name, so precise modern identification requires manuscript tradition and regional context from surrounding verses.
The verse emphasizes disciplined preparation (saṃskṛta) and contemplative vision as associated with enduring peace.
