भूचक्रं तेन दत्तं स्यात्सशैलवनकाननम् । शालग्रामशिलाया यो मूल्यमुत्पादयेन्नरः
By offering the value obtained from a Śālagrāma stone, a man gives the earth's realm, with its mountains, forests, and groves.
विक्रेता चानुमंता यः परीक्षासु च मोदते । ते सर्वे नरकं यांति यावदाभूतसंप्लवम्
Whoever sells, approves, or delights in examining such stones—all of them go to hell until the dissolution of creation.
ततः संवर्जयेद्वैश्य चक्रस्य क्रयविक्रयम् । बहुनोक्तेन किं वैश्य कर्तव्यं पापभीरुणा
Therefore, a merchant should avoid buying and selling the sacred stone; what need is there for many words? The merchant should act, fearing sin.
स्मरणं वासुदेवस्य सर्वपापहरं हरेः । तपस्तप्त्वा नरो घोरमरण्ये नियतेंद्रियः
The remembrance of Vāsudeva, Hari who removes all sins, is penance; a man, with controlled senses, performing austerity in a dreadful forest,
यत्फलं समवाप्नोति तन्नत्वा गरुडध्वजम् । कृत्वापि बहुशः पापं नरो मोहसमन्वितः
Whatever fruit he attains by bowing to Garuḍa-bannered Lord, even if a man commits much sin, deluded in mind,
न याति नरकं गत्वा सर्वपापहरं हरिम् । पृथिव्यां यानि तीर्थानि पुण्यान्यायतनानि च
He does not go to hell, having approached Hari, the remover of all sins; all the holy places and sacred shrines on earth,
तानि सर्वाण्यवाप्नोति विष्णोर्नामानुकीर्तनात् । देवं शार्ङ्गधरं विष्णुं ये प्रपन्नाः परायणाः
He attains all those by reciting the names of Viṣṇu; those who have surrendered to Viṣṇu, the bearer of the Śārṅga bow,
न तेषां यमसालोक्यं न ते स्युर्नरकौकसः । वैष्णवः पुरुषो वैश्य शिवनिंदां करोति यः
They do not see Yama's realm, nor do they dwell in hell; but a Vaiṣṇava who insults Śiva,
न विंदेद्वैष्णवं लोकं स याति नरकं महत् । उपोष्यैकादशीमेकां प्रसंगेनापि मानवः
He does not attain the Vaiṣṇava world; he goes to a great hell. Even if a man observes a single Ekādaśī fast by chance,
न याति यातनां यामीमिति लोमशतः श्रुतम् । नेदृशं पावनं किंचित्त्रिषु लोकेषु विद्यते
He does not suffer Yama's torments—this has been heard from Lomaśa. Nothing so purifying exists in the three worlds.
उभयं पद्मनाभस्य दिनं पातकनाशनम् । तावत्पापानि देहेऽस्मिन्वसंतीह विशांवर
Both days of Padmanābha destroy sin; O king, sins remain in the body only until one observes the auspicious day of Padmanābha.
यावन्नोपवसेज्जंतुः पद्मनाभदिनं शुभम् । अश्वमेधसहस्राणि राजसूयशतानि च
Until a creature observes the auspicious day of Padmanābha, thousands of Aśvamedha sacrifices and hundreds of Rājasūya rituals
एकादश्युपवासस्य कलां नार्हंति षोडशीम् । एकादशेंद्रियैः पापं यत्कृतं वैश्य मानवैः
Do not equal even a sixteenth part of the merit of fasting on Ekādaśī; the sin committed by merchants and men with eleven senses,
एकादश्युपवासेन तत्सर्वं विलयं व्रजेत् । एकादशीसमं किंचित्पुण्यं लोके न विद्यते
All that is destroyed by fasting on Ekādaśī; nothing in the world equals the merit of Ekādaśī.
व्याजेनापि कृता यैस्तु वशं यांति न भास्करेः । स्वर्गमोक्षप्रदा ह्येषा शरीरारोग्यदायिनी
Even those who observe it by pretense come under the sun's control; this day grants heaven, liberation, and bodily health.
सुकलत्रप्रदा ह्येषा जीवत्पुत्रप्रदायिनी । न गंगा न गया वैश्य न काशी न च पुष्करम्
It grants good wives and living sons; neither Gaṅgā, nor Gayā, nor Kāśī, nor Puṣkara,
न चापि वैष्णवं क्षेत्रं तुल्यं हरिदिनेन तु । यमुना चन्द्रभागा न तुल्या हरिदिनेन तु
Nor any Vaiṣṇava sacred place is equal to Hari's day; neither Yamunā nor Candrabhāgā is equal to Hari's day.
अनायासेन येनात्र प्राप्यते वैष्णवं पदम् । रात्रौ जागरणं कृत्वा समुपोष्य हरेर्दिने
By which, without effort, the Vaiṣṇava realm is attained here; by keeping vigil at night and fasting on Hari's day.
दश वै पैतृके पक्षे मातृके दश पूर्वजाः । प्रियाया दश ये वैश्य तानुद्धरति निश्चितम्
Ten ancestors from the paternal side, ten from the maternal side, and ten from the beloved's family—these are certainly liberated by the Vaiśya.
द्वंद्वसंग परित्यक्ता नागारि कृतकेतनाः । स्रग्विणः पीतवसनाः प्रयांति हरिमंदिरम्
Those who have abandoned attachment to dualities, who are not householders and have made vows, adorned with garlands and wearing yellow garments, go to the abode of Hari.
बालत्वे यौवने वापि वार्द्धके वा विशांवर । उपोष्यैकादशीं नूनं नैति पापोऽतिदुर्गतिम्
Whether in childhood, youth, or old age, O lord of men, one who observes the Ekādaśī fast surely does not attain a most difficult fate.
उपोष्येह त्रिरात्राणि कृत्वा वा तीर्थमज्जनम् । दत्वा हेमतिलान्गाश्च स्वर्गं यांतीह मानवाः
By observing a three-night fast here, or by bathing at a sacred place, and by giving gold and sesame, people attain heaven in this world.
तीर्थे स्नांति न ये वैश्य न दत्तं कांचनं च यैः । नैव तप्तं तपः किंचित्ते स्युः सर्वत्र दुःखिताः
Those who do not bathe at the sacred place, who have not given gold, and who have not performed any austerity, will be afflicted with suffering everywhere.
संक्षिप्य कथितं धर्म्मं नरकस्य निरूपणम् । अद्रोहः सर्वभूतेषु वाङ्मनः काय कर्मभिः
In summary, the dharma and the description of hell have been spoken: non-injury to all beings by speech, mind, and bodily actions.
इंद्रियाणां निरोधश्च दानं च हरिसेवनम् । वर्णाश्रमक्रियाणां च पालनं विधितः सदा
Restraint of the senses, giving, service to Hari, and always following the prescribed duties of varṇa and āśrama.
स्वर्गार्थी सर्वदा वैश्य तपोदानं न कीर्तयेत् । यथाशक्ति तथा दद्यादात्मनो हितकाम्यया
One seeking heaven should not boast of their austerity or charity; but should give according to their ability, desiring their own welfare.
उपानद्वस्त्रमन्नानि पत्रं मूलं फलं जलम् । अवंध्यं दिवसं कार्य्यं दरिद्रेणापि वैश्यक
Footwear, clothing, food, leaves, roots, fruits, and water—each day should be made fruitful, even by the poor Vaiśya.
इहलोके परे चैव न दत्तं नोपतिष्ठते । दातारो नैव पश्यंति तां तां वै यमयातनाम्
In this world and the next, that which is not given does not accompany; donors do not see the various torments of Yama.
दीर्घायुषो धनाढ्याश्च भवंतीह पुनःपुनः । किमत्र बहुनोक्तेन यांत्यधर्मेण दुर्गतिम्
Those who are long-lived and wealthy are born again and again here; what need is there for many words? By unrighteousness, they go to a bad fate.
आरोहंति दिवं धर्म्मे नराः सर्वत्र सर्वदा
By righteousness, people ascend to heaven everywhere and always.
