तस्मिंस्तीर्थे नर: स्नात्वा वाजिमेधफलं लभेत् । सारस्वतीं गतिं चैव लभते नात्र संशय:,उस तीर्थमें स्नान करनेसे मनुष्य अश्वमेधयज्ञका फल पाता है और सरस्वतीलोकको प्राप्त होता है, इसमें संशय नहीं है
Transliteration
tasmiṁs tīrthe naraḥ snātvā vājimedha-phalaṁ labhet | sārasvatīṁ gatiṁ caiva labhate nātra saṁśayaḥ ||
Translation
ആ തീർത്ഥത്തിൽ സ്നാനം ചെയ്താൽ മനുഷ്യന് അശ്വമേധയാഗത്തിന്റെ ഫലം ലഭിക്കും; കൂടാതെ സരസ്വതീലോകത്തിലേക്കുള്ള ശുഭഗതിയും ലഭിക്കും—ഇതിൽ സംശയമില്ല.
