किं दानैः किं व्रतैर्होमैः किं यज्ञैर्वहुविस्तरैः । कार्तिक्यां पुष्करे स्नानैः सर्वेषां लभ्यते फलम्
kiṃ dānaiḥ kiṃ vratairhomaiḥ kiṃ yajñairvahuvistaraiḥ | kārtikyāṃ puṣkare snānaiḥ sarveṣāṃ labhyate phalam
ଦାନ, ବ୍ରତ, ହୋମ କିମ୍ବା ବହୁବିସ୍ତୃତ ଯଜ୍ଞର କଣ ଆବଶ୍ୟକ? କାର୍ତ୍ତିକରେ ପୁଷ୍କରସ୍ନାନ କଲେ ସବୁର ଫଳ ମିଳେ।
