प्रभासं मानसं तीर्थे पुष्कराणि मह्वत्सरः। पुण्यं च नैमिषं तीर्थे बाहुदां करतोयिनीम्॥ गयां गयशिरश्चैव विपाशां स्थूलवालुकाम्। कृष्णां गङ्गां पञ्चनदं महाह्रदमथापि च॥ गोमती कौशिकी पम्पां महात्मानो धृतव्रताः। सरस्वतीदृषद्वत्यौ यमुनां ये तु यान्ति च॥ तत्र ते दिव्यसंस्थाना दिव्यमाल्यधराः शिवाः। प्रयान्ति पुण्यगन्धाढ्या धृतराष्ट्रो न तत्र वै॥
