Translation

جلدی جان لو کہ یہ چاروں تِتھیاں ہی یُگادی ہیں؛ ان میں کیا گیا دان یا ہون/ہُت فوراً اَکشَی ہو جاتا ہے۔ ہر یُگ میں سو برس تک دیا گیا دان جس پھل کا باعث بنتا ہے، یُگادی کے وقت ایک ہی دن میں کیا گیا دان وہی پھل دے دیتا ہے۔

FAQs

Sacred time magnifies dharma: offerings made at Yugādi become inexhaustible and equal vast long-term giving.

No location is highlighted; the verse praises Yugādi-kāla as a supreme merit-bearing time.

Perform dāna (charity) and huta/homa (fire-offerings) on the four Yugādi tithis for akṣaya results.
