The Efficacy and Sacred Merit of Akrūra Tīrtha
तत्र नित्यं स्थितो देवि लोकानां हितकाम्यया ॥ मां दृष्ट्वा मनुजा देवि मुक्तिभाजो भवन्ति ते ॥
tatra nityaṃ sthito devi lokānāṃ hitakāmyayā || māṃ dṛṣṭvā manujā devi muktibhājo bhavanti te ||
وہاں میں ہمیشہ قائم رہتا ہوں، اے دیوی، عوالم کی بھلائی کی خواہش سے۔ وہاں مجھے دیکھ کر، اے دیوی، وہ انسان نجات (موکش) کے حصہ دار بن جاتے ہیں۔
