The Sacred Geography and Merit of Dvārakā
लभन्ते ते परां सिद्धिं धरे नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥ कदम्बमिति विख्यातं तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे परं मम ॥
labhante te parāṃ siddhiṃ dhare nāsty atra saṃśayaḥ || kadambam iti vikhyātaṃ tasminkṣetre paraṃ mama ||
వారు పరమ సిద్ధిని పొందుతారు; హే ధరే, ఇందులో సందేహం లేదు. నా ఆ పరమ క్షేత్రం ‘కదంబ’ అని ప్రసిద్ధి చెందింది.
