एकेन सर्वपापेभ्यो विमुक्तस्त्वं विशांपते । द्वितीयमाघपुण्येन प्राप्तः स्वर्गस्त्वयानघ
ekena sarvapāpebhyo vimuktastvaṃ viśāṃpate | dvitīyamāghapuṇyena prāptaḥ svargastvayānagha
Dengan satu amalan suci sahaja, wahai tuan bagi sekalian rakyat, engkau telah terlepas daripada segala dosa. Dengan yang kedua—berkat pahala bulan Māgha—wahai yang tidak bernoda, engkau telah mencapai syurga (Svarga).
Unspecified (context-dependent narrator addressing a king, 'viśāṃpate')
Concept: Time (kāla) sanctified by dharma—especially Māgha—multiplies puṇya; disciplined observance can sever pāpa and elevate the soul’s destination.
Application: Use sacred-time discipline: adopt a seasonal vow in Māgha (early bathing, charity, japa, simple diet), and pair it with ethical repair (truthfulness, non-harm) so ‘puṇya’ is not merely ritual but character-forming.
