The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
त्वयि भक्तिः सदा भूयाद् यावत्स्थानं जनार्दन ।। अन्यभक्तिर्मम विभो रोचते न कदाचन
tvayi bhaktiḥ sadā bhūyād yāvat-sthānaṃ janārdana || anya-bhaktir mama vibho rocate na kadācana
ஓ ஜனார்தன, நான் இந்நிலையில் இருக்கும் வரை உம்மேல் பக்தி எப்போதும் பெருகட்டும்; ஓ வல்லவனே, வேறு எவரிடத்தும் பக்தி எனக்கு ஒருபோதும் விருப்பமில்லை।
