The Greatness of Stutasvāmi: Varāha’s Disclosure of the Bhūtagiri Sacred Landscape and Its Ethical Discipline
धूतपापं न प्रविशेत्प्रविशत्यामले नरे ॥ तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे वरारोहे समन्तात्पञ्चयोजने
dhūtapāpaṃ na praviśet praviśaty amale nare || tasmin kṣetre varārohe samantāt pañcayojane
Sesiapa yang belum menyucikan dosa janganlah masuk; kemasukan hanya bagi insan yang tidak bernoda. Wahai yang berpeha elok, di kṣetra suci itu, luasnya lima yojana ke segenap penjuru.
