The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
तत्र गुह्यानि मे भूमे वक्ष्यमाणानि मे शृणु ॥ तरन्ति मनुजा येभ्यो घोरं संसारसागरम् ॥
tatra guhyāni me bhūme vakṣyamāṇāni me śṛṇu || taranti manujā yebhyo ghoraṃ saṃsārasāgaram ||
Di sana, wahai Bumi, dengarkan ajaran rahsiaku yang akan Kunyatakan—dengannya manusia menyeberangi lautan saṃsāra yang menggerunkan.
