सोमेश्वरस्य महिमा मुक्तिक्षेत्रस्य चापि हि ॥ त्रिवेण्याश्चैव माहात्म्यं माहात्म्यं गण्डकीभवम्
someśvarasya mahimā muktikṣetrasya cāpi hi || triveṇyāś caiva māhātmyaṃ māhātmyaṃ gaṇḍakībhavam
सोमेश्वर भी एक बड़ा स्थान है। मुक्तिक्षेत्र, यह मुक्ति देने वाली जगह है। त्रिवेणी की बड़ी बात है। गंडकी नदी से भी यहाँ बात शुरू होती है।
