गजानां तु शते दत्ते लक्षे च रथवाजिनाम् । तत्फलं कोटिगुणितं सोमवारव्रते कृते
gajānāṃ tu śate datte lakṣe ca rathavājinām | tatphalaṃ koṭiguṇitaṃ somavāravrate kṛte
Mesmo o fruto obtido ao doar cem elefantes e cem mil carros e cavalos—quando se cumpre o voto de segunda‑feira—esse fruto se multiplica por um koṭi, dez milhões de vezes.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Somavāra-vrata locus)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A grand procession of donated elephants and countless chariots and horses is evoked as a symbolic benchmark; over it, the quiet image of a Monday-vrata devotee at Prabhāsa is shown as yielding even greater multiplied merit.
Devotional vow (vrata) oriented to Śiva can surpass even kingly-scale charity in spiritual yield, emphasizing intention and sacred observance.
The comparison is part of Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya, where Śaiva vows and worship are extolled as exceptionally merit-giving.
Performance of the Somavāra-vrata (Monday vow) is prescribed/commended as multiplying merit immensely.
