तस्मिन्मृताः प्राणिनो ये कामतो वाप्यकामतः । कृमि कीटसमा वापि ते यांति परमां गतिम्
tasminmṛtāḥ prāṇino ye kāmato vāpyakāmataḥ | kṛmi kīṭasamā vāpi te yāṃti paramāṃ gatim
Bất cứ hữu tình nào chết tại đó—dù cố ý hay vô tình—dẫu chỉ như loài giun dế, côn trùng, cũng đều đi đến cảnh giới tối thượng.

The kṣetra’s sanctity is depicted as so potent that it can elevate even the lowest forms of life to the highest goal.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, praised for granting the ‘supreme destination’ to those who die within it.
