Eulogy of the Merits (Phalaśruti) of the Dharāṇī-Varāha Dialogue
सर्वयज्ञेषु यत्पुण्यं सर्वदानेषु यत्फलम् ॥ सर्वतीर्थाभिषेकेन यत्फलं मुनिभिः स्मृतम् ॥
sarvayajñeṣu yat puṇyaṃ sarvadāneṣu yat phalam || sarvatīrthābhiṣekena yat phalaṃ munibhiḥ smṛtam ||
सब यज्ञ करने में जो पुण्य होता है, वो मिलता है। सब तरह की दान में जो फल होता है, वो भी मिलता है। और रिशियों ने कहा है, सब पवित्र तीर्थों में नहाने का जो फल है, वो भी मिलता है।
