Sanskrit Original
व्रज तीर्थानि नियतः पुण्यं पुण्येन वर्धयन्। भावितैः करणैः पूर्वमास्तिक्याच्छ्रुतिदर्शनात्॥ प्राप्यन्ते तानि तीर्थानि सद्भिः शास्त्रानुदर्शिभिः। नाव्रती नाकृतात्मा च नाशुचिर्न च तस्करः॥ स्नाति तीर्थेषु कौरव्य न च वक्रमतिर्नरः। त्वया तु सम्यग्वृत्तेन नित्यंधर्मार्थदर्शिना॥
Should with subdued senses, visit these Tirthas by increasing your virtue. The man of honesty and those who understand the Shastras are able to visit these Tirthas by reason of their purified soul, by their belief in Godhead and by their study of the Vedas. He who does not observe vows, whose soul is not under control, who is impure, who is a thief and who is crooked-minded cannot bathe in these Tirthas. O descendant of Kuru, you are ever observant of virtue and you are of pure character.
