Shloka 3
पांसवो5पि कुरुक्षेत्रे वायुना समुदीरिता: । अपि दुष्कृतकर्माणं नयन्ति परमां गतिम्,वायुद्वारा उड़ाकर लायी हुई कुरुक्षेत्रकी धूल भी शरीरपर पड़ जाय, तो वह पापी मनुष्यको भी परमगतिकी प्राप्ति करा देती है
pāṁsavo ’pi kurukṣetre vāyunā samudīritāḥ | api duṣkṛtakarmāṇaṁ nayanti paramāṁ gatim ||
കുരുക്ഷേത്രത്തിലെ ധൂളികണങ്ങളും— കാറ്റാൽ ഉയർത്തപ്പെട്ട് ശരീരത്തിൽ പതിച്ചാൽ— ദുഷ്കൃത്യഭാരമുള്ള മനുഷ്യനെയും പരമഗതിയിലേക്കു നയിക്കുന്നു.
