The Greatness of the Śālagrāma Sacred Region
तत्र स्नानं तु कुर्वीत त्रिरात्रोपोषितो नरः॥ वेदान्तगानां विप्राणां फलं प्राप्नोति मानवः॥
tatra snānaṃ tu kurvīta trirātropoṣito naraḥ || vedāntagānāṃ viprāṇāṃ phalaṃ prāpnoti mānavaḥ
Sesiapa yang berpuasa tiga malam hendaklah mandi suci di sana; insan itu memperoleh pahala sebanding para brāhmaṇa yang melagukan Vedānta.
