Mataṅga–Gardabhī Itihāsa
मैनाके पर्वते स्नात्वा तथा संध्यामुपास्य च | काम॑ जित्वा च वै मासं सर्वयज्ञफलं लभेत्,मैनाक पर्वतपर एक महीनेतक स्नान और संध्योपासन करनेसे मनुष्य कामको जीतकर समस्त यज्ञोंका फल पा लेता है
Maināke parvate snātvā tathā sandhyām upāsya ca | kāmaṁ jitvā ca vai māsaṁ sarvayajñaphalaṁ labhet ||
മൈനാക പർവതത്തിൽ ഒരു മാസം സ്നാനം ചെയ്ത് സന്ധ്യോപാസന അനുഷ്ഠിച്ച്, കാമത്തെ ജയിച്ചവൻ സർവയാഗഫലം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു.
