Praise of the Sacred Geography of Mathurā
यस्मिन्स्नातो नरो देवि मम लोकं प्रपद्यते ॥ सर्वतीर्थेषु यत्स्नानं सर्वतीर्थेषु यत्फलम् ॥
yasmin snāto naro devi mama lokaṃ prapadyate || sarvatīrtheṣu yat snānaṃ sarvatīrtheṣu yat phalam ||
देवि, यस्मिन् तीर्थे स्नातो नरो मम लोकं प्रपद्यते। सर्वतीर्थेषु यत्स्नानं यच्च सर्वतीर्थेषु फलं, तत्सर्वं तत्रैव लभ्यते॥
