यज्ञकोटिफलं भुक्त्वा मम कोटिं प्रपद्यते ॥ अस्ति विष्णुसरो नाम तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे परं मम ॥
yajñakoṭiphalaṃ bhuktvā mama koṭiṃ prapadyate || asti viṣṇusaro nāma tasmin kṣetre paraṃ mama ||
కోటియజ్ఞఫలాన్ని అనుభవించినవాడు నా పరమస్థితిని పొందుతాడు. ఆ పరమ పుణ్యక్షేత్రంలో ‘విష్ణుసర’ అనే తీర్థం ఉంది; అది నాతో అత్యంతంగా సంబంధించిఉంది.
