सदाचाराय शुद्धाय दरिद्रायानुकारिणे । गां दत्त्वा फलमाप्नोति स्नानमात्रेण तत्फलम्
sadācārāya śuddhāya daridrāyānukāriṇe | gāṃ dattvā phalamāpnoti snānamātreṇa tatphalam
جو نیک سیرت، پاکیزہ اور غریبوں پر رحم کرنے والا ہو، اسے گائے دان کرنے سے جو پُنّیہ پھل ملتا ہے—اسی تیرتھ میں صرف اشنان کرنے سے بھی وہی پھل حاصل ہوتا ہے۔
Śrī Kṛṣṇa
Tirtha: Gopikāsara
Type: kund
Listener: Gopikās
Scene: A juxtaposed tableau: on one side, a righteous donor gives a decorated cow to a pure, compassionate brāhmaṇa; on the other, a pilgrim bathes in the sacred waters, receiving the same radiance of merit.
A powerful tīrtha can grant immense merit through simple acts like bathing, while still honoring the ideal of righteous charity.
Gopikāsara (within the Dvārakā Māhātmya), whose snāna is declared extraordinarily meritorious.
Snāna at the tīrtha is highlighted; go-dāna to a virtuous, pure, and compassionate recipient is referenced as the comparable merit.
