The Sacred Merit of Goniṣkramaṇa
the Tīrtha of the Cows’ Emergence/Release
अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम् ॥ पञ्चयज्ञफलं भुक्त्वा मम लोकं प्रपद्यते ॥
athātra muñcate prāṇān kṛtvā karma suduṣkaram || pañcayajñaphalaṃ bhuktvā mama lokaṃ prapadyate ||
Kemudian, setelah melaksanakan amalan yang amat sukar di sini, seseorang melepaskan nafas-hayatnya; setelah menikmati hasil lima yajña, dia mencapai alam-Ku.
