Sanskrit Original
गत्वा वीरप्रमोक्षं च सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते। कृत्तिकामघयोश्चैव तीर्थमासाद्य भारत॥ अग्निष्टोमातिरात्राभ्यां फलमाप्नोति मानवः। तत्र संध्यां समासाद्य विद्यातीर्थमनुत्तमम्॥ उपस्पृश्य च वै विद्यां यत्र तत्रोपपद्यते। महाश्रमे वसेद् रात्रिं सर्वपापप्रमोचने॥ एककालं निराहारो लोकानावसते शुभान्।
