विविधानि च दानानि हेमरत्नधनानि च । चक्रतीर्थे महाराज कपिलां यः प्रयच्छति । पृथ्वी तेन भवेद्दत्ता सशैलवनकानना

ସେଠାରେ ବିଭିନ୍ନ ଦାନ—ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣ, ରତ୍ନ ଓ ଧନ ଆଦି—ବିଧେୟ ବୋଲି କୁହାଯାଇଛି। ହେ ମହାରାଜ, ଯେ ଚକ୍ରତୀର୍ଥରେ କପିଳା ଗାଈ ଦାନ କରେ, ସେ ପର୍ବତ-ବନ-କାନନ ସହିତ ସମଗ୍ର ପୃଥିବୀ ଦାନ କଲା ବୋଲି ଗଣ୍ୟ ହୁଏ।
Īśvara (Śiva), addressing a kingly listener
Tirtha: Cakratīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Mahārāja (explicit address: ‘O great king’)
Scene: At Cakratīrtha, a donor presents a tawny kapilā cow with ornaments; the scene subtly expands to a cosmic vision of the earth—mountains, forests, groves—symbolizing ‘pṛthivī-dāna’ merit.
At exalted tīrthas, a single dharmic act—like go-dāna—symbolically equals vast giving, showing the amplifying power of sacred place and intent.
Cakratīrtha is explicitly praised as a place where gifts yield extraordinary merit.
Giving a kapilā (tawny cow) at Cakratīrtha, along with other forms of dāna such as gold, jewels, and wealth.
