अग्निष्टॊमादिभिर यज्ञैर इष्ट्वा विपुलदक्षिणैः
न तत फलम अवाप्नॊति तीर्थाभिगमनेन यत
⚡ Quick Meaning
Yajnas performed with great offerings do not yield fruit as compared to visiting sacred places.
📖 Translations
English Translation
Performing extensive Yajnas like Agnishtoma with significant donations does not yield the same benefits as just visiting holy places. The results of rituals pale in comparison to the sanctity and blessings obtained from pilgrimages.
हिंदी अनुवाद
ऐसी यज्ञाएँ जैसे अग्निष्टोमा जो भव्य दान देकर की जाती हैं, उनके फल तीर्थ यात्रा के फल की तुलना में निष्कर्ष नहीं देते। तीर्थों की यात्रा से प्राप्त आशीर्वाद और पवित्रता का लाभ अनमोल है।
