यत्फलं सर्वतीर्थेषु सर्वदानेषु यत्फलम् । तत्फलं सर्वमाप्नोति यः षष्ठीं कपिलां चरेत्
yatphalaṃ sarvatīrtheṣu sarvadāneṣu yatphalam | tatphalaṃ sarvamāpnoti yaḥ ṣaṣṭhīṃ kapilāṃ caret
تمام تیرتھوں سے جو ثواب حاصل ہوتا ہے اور تمام دانوں سے جو پُنّیہ پھل ملتا ہے—جو کپیلا ششٹھی کا ورت رکھے، وہ وہ سب ثواب پورے طور پر پا لیتا ہے۔
