Transliteration
pratigrahād apāvṛttaḥ santuṣṭo yena kenacit | ahaṅkāra-nivṛttaś ca sa tīrtha-phalam aśnute ||
Translation
He who turns away from accepting gifts, who remains content with whatever comes to him, and in whom ego has been extinguished—such a person truly attains the fruit of pilgrimage. The merit of sacred places is not secured by mere travel, but by inner discipline: non-dependence, contentment, and humility.
