धर्मः संप्राप्यते सूक्ष्मः श्रद्धा धर्मोऽद्भुतं तपः । श्रद्धा स्वर्गश्च मोक्षश्च श्रद्धा सर्वमिदं जगत्
dharmaḥ saṃprāpyate sūkṣmaḥ śraddhā dharmo'dbhutaṃ tapaḥ | śraddhā svargaśca mokṣaśca śraddhā sarvamidaṃ jagat
ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯಿಂದ ಧರ್ಮದ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ಸಾರವು ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯೇ ಧರ್ಮ, ಅದೇ ಅದ್ಭುತ ತಪಸ್ಸು. ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯೇ ಸ್ವರ್ಗವೂ ಮೋಕ್ಷವೂ; ಈ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಜಗತ್ತೂ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯೇ.

Scene: A visionary tableau: the word ‘Śraddhā’ personified as a radiant goddess-like presence, holding a rosary and a water-pot, with svarga above and a luminous mokṣa-gate beyond; the world appears within her aura.
Śraddhā is the inner power that makes dharma real—leading from righteous action to svarga and ultimately mokṣa.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse offers a universal doctrinal glorification of śraddhā.
No specific rite is prescribed; it establishes faith as the essential principle behind tapas, dāna, and spiritual attainment.
